How to start the ball rolling to work in Auz

[Pedroso]

hi,

I just finished Uni in last May and have worked in a private practice in IReland for the last four months. I have my NZ reg and my APC in NZ and am keen to come to OZ and gain a rotational graduate position in a hospital (in Melbourne preferably). Is is the case that I have to get a sponsor or do I apply for jobs to hospitals after I apply for my APC? Anyone know what the job prospects are in OZ for graduates? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there, I'm working as a physiotherapist in Ireland and I am interested in relocating to Australia. I was under the impression by registering with the New Zealand physiotherapy board first entitles you to automatic registration in Australia without the need to sit the exams. Is this the case? Also are you required to work in New Zealand for a certain period of time before applying to Australia?
Thanks

I'm looking for the same information. I'm currently working in Scotland and would like to go to OZ first then NZ so would like to get NZ reg so that I have options. Is there a required working period in NZ before you can work in OZ?
thanks
