Hey all,
i am just starting to complete mine. I am struggling with the evidence for components -1.1-1.9 in each core? What sort of evidence are people using there.
Also for the 4th page of each core it seems a bit vague and I have just referenced the same evidence iv just used for the first 3 pages as it seems to be a bit of a now put it all together page.
Any advice of specific things people have put as evidence for the first component of each core?
Sheesh it's so hard!
Thanks kirsten
Hi Kirsten,
I have done the same as you with the fourth page and just referenced evidenced used on the first 3 competencies. For the 1.1-1.9 components have used things like a mandatory training course certificate and reflection on equality and diversity, a reflection on health promotion, a competency I have do at work on normal development (I work in paeds), in-service training I have presented for a certain pathology ( shows indication for Physiotherapy). You don't need to cover all components.
Hope this helps

Hi All,
I am now towards the end of completing the competencies, and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Just wanting some advice about section one of the competencies, I have referenced the modules from my university course transcript as it states. I have saved all my essays and markers comments from uni and I also have copies of my clinical educators assessor sheets from my placements, can these be put in section one as they are from my undergraduate study or would they count as pieces of evidence and should be in section 3?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Leanne :-)
Hi Leanne,
Well done on almost completing your form.... I am getting there slowly. I have most of the official documentation and now putting my evidence together from the past 10 years since I qualified, would you be happy for me to email you and ask you a couple of questions. This site has been really helpful, but I know the application process has recently changed and it is now all in template form, I am just a little stuck on what to include in certain areas. My email is zoe.rogers@me.com. It would be great to get in touch with you, thanks!

Hello,
This thread is so useful thanks everyone! Im just starting to put my stuff together properly now. It all gets very confusing! Does anyone know if theres anywhere to see a sample of the template or would mind sending just one example of what the template should look like? I get Row 3- you just list the evidence. Its row 1 and 2 structure thats confusing me! Are you supposed to list a few experiences you have had then elaborate for a sentence or so. Or do they want a paragraph about various experiences.
Any enlightenment is appreciated!

Hi Sarah,
Sounds like you are in the same boat as me. From what I've read on this forum (which is a god send!!) and the NZ physio board website, in row 1 you reference a particular part in your course transcript/syllabus that shows how you meet the competency. So for the musculoskeletal competencies I would reference the page number of all the modules relevant to MSK so that the assessors can easily find the info and see that you meet the competency. I am just using bullet points?! Same for row 2, just cross reference the page number for the relevant post on your CV that again shows how you meet the competency. Again, I'm using bullet points. Hope that helps.
Hi All,
The answer to this question is probably somewhere on this site but I can't find it for looking! With regard to the neuro competency in particular, i'm struggling for specific evidence. I have got 3 years MSK experience and have completed in-patient rotations for 18 months prior to this in ICU, elderly care and ortho. Has anybody else found this... How do I evidence my neuro? Would it be sufficient to say I saw some neuro patients in the other rotations which I did and that I still do occassionally now? Or is uni placement sufficient? Any advice would be great.
Cheers, Terri.
I was in the same boat, could evidence uni placements and then rotations but struggled getting a recent neuro reference. I have taken the Australian exams instead. Been a msk physio for over 10 years. Passed the written and waiting to do the practical exams now.
Hi Guys,
I'm just starting my NZ rego process with the aim of moving to NZ in a year or so. Finding the forms quite confusing at present though. Was wondering if anyone who has completed the forms would be willing and able to send me a copy of their successful application forms to give me an idea of what I need to put into the forms and more the format of how they would like it displayed. Am pretty concerned at having to pay for re-submission of the forms as I'm not particularly secure financially at present. Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated :)
Sorry, have not completed mine. I asked the sme question last year but never got a reply. I have taken the Australian exams instead.
Fair enough. I guess the people who have completed the forms no longer need to come onto forums like this :( How're the Australia exams going?
Not too bad, passed written so about to do the practicals. I was ok with the evidence for musculoskeletal and respiratory but worked in neuro over 9 years ago so was struggling with the neuro reference. I was going to go to Nz first and spend a few months working whilst visiting family but now we are going to go to Oz as I have a job later in the year. I think main tip is to get all your supporting evidence together and then start going through it. I got all my uni course booklets, placements, reflective statements and did the cv and treaty part but did not get going on the statement/evidence parts. Several people on previous posts said that they would be willing to help but had no replies.
I've never worked in neuro or respiratory but did do undergrad placements in both areas. And will have 3 years msk by the time I apply. Hopefully that'll suffice. Thanks for the advice. I'm printing all the forms off now as I find it easier if its on paper! I guess if you get into oz you can always do the trans-tasman agreeement to work in nz if you wanted. I'm thinking of doing the same after I've spent a bit of time working in nz and travelling a bit around there. When are your practicals? Aiming to go to Oz soon?
Just waiting dates but hopefully beginning of September. I can work there now on limited registration. Are you still in contact with your supervisors as the work history verification part is the reference part? I start work beginning of October, I work in msk.
- - - Updated - - -
The main thing on the Nz registration is showing ongoing competence in all 3 areas, some of the competences are msk, some neuro and some resp. There is a bit for placements and next bit employment in each area, reading articles, cpd etc.
That's cool, best of luck with your practical exams for Oz! When you say supervisors, do you mean my old clinical educators or my previous/current work bosses? So basically I'm going to have to show articles I have read and reflected on in the resp and neuro areas as well as msk? Hope I won;t have to go on any neuro or resp cpd courses in the meantime! Any chance I could have a look at some of the nz stuff you have done at all? Its fine if not but may help with getting me started.
Hi Terri,
Im a Dutch physio looking to gain registration in NZ. As many people before me I find it hard (making it hard for myself?) to fill out the Templates. I don't seem to find enough space at the given templates, so I'm probably being to extensive in my answers. Could you maybe email me an example? I read your thread obviously, but cant really picture it. Might be really helpful! My address is gpvanmourik@hotmail.com.
Thank you very much in advance!
Geert
Hello,
I was wondering, does anyone know if attending an IST and reflecting on that you've learnt counts as sufficient evidence? With the presentation handouts included with it so it states what the course outline was. I'm finding it difficult showing evidence of the 1st templates i.e. human structures etc for neuro/msk/resp.
Geert, I havent got very far yet so probably not much help but I presume your write as little or as much as you like in the boxes they just extend as you write more. I plan on putting the title and a few brief lines about it. I.e row 1- uni module name, this module covers .... and describe about 2-3 sentences from the transcript. not sure if thats too much or too little but thats what im rocking with! anyone else doing the same kind of thing?
Sarah

I'm being really cheeky but wondering has anyone got a copy of a completed successful application for registration in New Zealand. I'm starting to feel a bit confused on how to word and write things and feel that if I had an example I'll know if I'm on the right track? Thank you my email is daviesthea@hotmail.com
hi there, did you manage to register yet? I am busy with my forms, and any help would be appreciated! Not sure exactly what they want with all the competency stuff! If you could mail me at vanessajacobs1@gmail.com that would be great. Thanks
I asked on the site but never got an answer and decided to do the Australian exams instead and then do the trans agreement if we decide to travel on to NZ. Hope everyone got their NZ registrations in the end.
application to New zealand is very confusing I was wondering if its not to checky to ask to have a look at yours? Any help / advise you can give me be great!
Also do you have any experienced applying to physiotherapy registration in New Zeeland from a 2 year Msc pre registration course , the course is only 2 years long but hold the same amount of placement clinical hours as the Bsc and on qualification you are registered to practise in the UK. However from the New Zealand website its not clear
thanks
Hi,
we just discussed NZ registration for foreigners at work (one of our new staff has been through the process) and she printed off the application forms.
Your question is answered on page 3. As long as your Masters is based on a Bachelor (and they give you examples of what is acceptable) you can just apply like everyone else but need a full year of postgrad work.
That's at least how we understand it.
By the way - she said that once you get your head around it, it's quite easy. She just copied everything that needs to go into her prof dev portfolio anyway (from memory that was: on call competencies, appraisals, presentations, course certificates) and wrote a few reflective statements. Had her registration within a matter of weeks.
Cheers, Fyzzio
Hi
this is Sarah Jung from South Korea.
I saw your post ! first of all congratulation !!
I hope my application will be accepted to NZ physiotherapist board.
Here's my career.
I graduated 4years physical therapy school in South Korea.
I have license and 1year full time experience.
Of course, I need to prove my Eng skill so, I got IELTS 7.5
I send all my paper to the board but, they send me back this information.
I would also draw your attention to the required physiotherapy competencies that all registered physiotherapists in New Zealand are expected to demonstrate:
http://www.physioboard.org.nz/sites/..._for_web_0.pdf
To gain registration in New Zealand as a physiotherapist under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCA Act) competence must be demonstrated in cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal and neurological physiotherapy in all the nine areas of physiotherapy competency.
Can I ask how did you pass this test?
Thank you for your help
Sincerely Sarah

Congratulations! i'm stanley, a physiotherapist registered in Philippines, i already completed my requirements for PTNZ qualifications. I'll be coming in NZ on September. Is it wiser if i register on the PTNZ council offshore? if yes, HOW? or is it more wiser to apply personally in NZ? thank you!
all the best,
STAN
Hi Stan,
I have also replied to your other post.
Reading this one (e.g. PTNZ council; :cool: there is no PTNZ council here in NZ) suggests that you haven't undertaken much research into the matter yet, so I will attach two links for your information.
Good luck,
Fyzzio

Hello,
Am Priyanka, I have done my Bpth n India. My application for NZ physio registration has been put on hold as they are asking me for additional documents. I want to know what are the chances of getting positive outcome at this stage. My 1st assessment report says I met 4 competency and need evidences for 3 more to prove. Please provide me with a feedback ASAP.
Thanks
- - - Updated - - -
Hey Kevin,
I have followed the pattern exactly what you have explained above. However, in some roles as per new competency templates, my evidences were said as insufficient as I have just written few lines about them. I need your help.Overall, my application has been put on hold as my evidences doesnt show my competency as an autonomus practioner. Please guide me on this.
Thanks you so much!!
Hey Priyanka,
I have just gained registration with the NZ PT Boards. They too had asked me for additional information and when I submitted it, they took about 15 working days to get back tome about my registration. So, based on my personal experience I can tell you to just follow their moderation report closesly and give them everything they have outlined that you lacked. Good luck!
Hello
will you be able to send me completed template too. My email address is thapasandhya@yahoo.com.
