Hi gcoe,

Thanks for your reply. Yeah i have emailed the australia physio board. It seems that only option on their website now is to apply for registration as an overseas qualified physiotherapist and then they will assess if you need to do exams etc. I will await their reply on the matter but it appears very expensive to go this route and alot of paperwork required again! So if this is the case i think I will register with WA ( which i can get all sorted in 2 wks) and then when WA are to join the national agreement in Oct hopefully then I will just be transferred onto this!
I have contacted a few agencies in australia who again are unclear with new registration policies!
According to the new guidelines if you are registered in any state in Oz ( excluding WA) before July 1st you automatically are transferred onto national registration. Hopefully the Nz APC will allow a transfer similar to this!

I will let you know what i hear!
