Hi. I am an English trained Physio, I am working in WA - You need to get NZ registration and then apply to NSW, Queensland or Victoria registration Boards under the Trans-Tasman recognition act, you can then apply to WA once you are registered in another australian state. basically WA doesn't accept trans tasman recognition. You do not need to go through ACOPRA unless you need to get a visa based on your physio qualification, you only need registration with the physio registration board. Once you have registration in NZ it is just a case of getting certified copies of your qualification and NZ rego to get NSW/VIC/QLD rego and then the same again to the WA board. It is worth doing - WA is a great place to work. Good Luck
