Australian written exam results March 2010

Dear APC office,

I appreciate your clarification.

With regards to the fact that the process of recognition might or not be set up in order to protect the Australian market, this is the opinion of the majority of the overseas physiotherapists. I say majority, however I have not found any with a different thought so far.

I understand though that I should have highlighted that I was referring to my personal opinion.

If it was not true I would expect clear signs from APC policy to demonstrate that. Unfortunately, since I approached the process in 2005, I haven't seen APC working on its policy to change the public 'wrong' perception.

But this is again my personal opinion. You know my point of view anyway.

Regards
Emanuela

Eventually some communication from the APC, If my statements are untrue what are the pass rates for the clinical exams.
However I do stand by my statement that clinical examiners who are lecturers or providers of further education have a conflict of interest as stated. Which I have tried to discuss with APC and given names of clinical examiners but have been ignored so far.
Unfortunately this must be also directed to the lady (apologises) Emanuela asbeing an immigration agent giving advice to overseas physios seems to be again a conflict of interest.
and again all overseas physios seeing this debate note what a mess it is.
Plus the APC says the clinical assesment is objective which it is not as the assessors are being subjective in their assesment, that is why candidates are not allowed to see notes taken by the assesors post exam
and again if any other physios need advice do not hesitate to contact me and see if we get any answers frm the APC regarding pass rates ;]

Dear Maxwell,

I wouldn't call giving migration free advice a conflict of interest, which means that no-one pays me. Plus, any time I give migration advice I am obliged by law to identify myself as a migration agent including number of registration, because giving migration advice without being registered and properly qualified is against the law and subject to heavy penalties.

Dear Emanuela
What concerns me is that physiobob`s is being used to promote the APC process,which you admit has changed "a little "due to your efforts trying to make them more transparent. So you stated I was not correct that the pass rate was less than 20% in the clinical exams.
It seems you have access to information that states otherwise so could you please clarify the pass rate for physios who have gone through the clinical exam process as this is the true indicator for prospects of overseas physios not the initial written exam
plus hope APC coulsd also confirm stats
