New Zealand Registration in 8 weeks

[salthill01]

Hi everyone,

I have just gained registration in New Zealand last week. The whole process from sending off my application to getting approval took 8 weeks. The new forms make it a lot easier for both the applying physiotherapist and the Registration official in New Zealand. The guidelines are very helpful as well. I am planning on going to New Zealand in June of this year. If anyone has any questions about the registration process or any queries please dont hesitate to ask and i will respond to you!! It is easier than people think if you dont get too bogged down and if you use the templates accordingly.

All the best
Kevin

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.

[hdabbour]

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

[Fyzzio]

Hi Stan,
I have also replied to your other post.
Reading this one (e.g. PTNZ council; 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

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!!

[JAPhysio]

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!
