The standards for registration with the Australian Physiotherapy Council (formerly ACOPRA) can be viewed here: http://www.physiocouncil.com.au/file...therapySummary

I have also attached a pdf to this post of the current guideline at todays date

Hi All,

I am very pleased, actually excited, to communicate that the pass rate for the last Acopra written exam (Sept 06) has been 70%.

Results were out today and I can say that this is the highest percentage reached in the history of this procedure! This exam was also the first one where the candidates were guided by our study group.

Just shortly, I inform you that this study group started as a protest against the unfair system of this procedure. Sept 05 exam, where only 14% of the candidates passed (compared to the average 50% of the previous exams) was the last drop for us. Now we try to help all the people wanting to be registered in Australia, so that they can make it at first attempt, while most of us had to attempt several times with high costs.

We have study material, Sept 05 papers (the only ones given, because of the protest, but protected by a disclaimer, so I can give them only to people enrolled in the exam....), old Acopra guidelines, University lectures, and lots of feedback and advice from us that have been through it (three times myself). We have a yahoo study group for the moment (you can post your email address here so I can send you the invitation to join the group). We are planning though to create our official association for overseas physios in Australia with a proper website.

I'll be pleased to let you join the group, as I said please send your email address.

I have a question about skill assessment for exam and migration purpose

Can applicants apply for migration after they pass the eligibility/skill assessment or they have to pass the physio exams first? I am confused about the information on the website of the APC. I contacted an immigration agency via a friend but was told that migration application can be started once the skill assessment has been done. But after I read the APC website, it seems not the case.

My concern is it is hard if one cannot move to Oz first before taking the exams. How other people usually do?

Please advise.
