New Zealand Registration in 8 weeks

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.

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 [email protected].

Thank you very much in advance!

Geert
