New Zealand Registration

[Armani]

Hi,

I have been through a few steps of this process (registration with NZ physio board). their website is very accurate and have all the info you need for this. In terms of those ten areas of competencies, you need to provide three documents: qualification transcript, course curriculum and your personal portfolio (your application wont be accepted without all three of them). You mentioned that you have studied in UK, keep in mind that NZ physio board only recognizes courses which were completed after 4 years of study. the main focus is on your portfolio, there are no set rules (as far as i know) around who would get it and who wont. it is completely discretional. In some cases the board may arrange for a written or practical exam for you as well (held in one of the physio schools in NZ).

Best of luck

Hi Armani,
I am physiotherapist from India. I am also planning to apply for the registration with NZ Physiotherapist Board. I am stuck up with the writing of competencies as I am not getting how to go about it.

As for competency 1: they have asked to analyse normal and abnormal patterns of human development.......... should I be writing it as an answer or provide evidence that it is part of the syllabus that I have studied? If as part of my Syllabus how do I mention it, in my portfolio or just highlight it in my syllabus.

Competency 7: is about Physiotherapy services in NZ. How do I write this as I have no experience of working in NZ?

Competency 3:Identify and develop physiotherapy management plan, and evaluate the plan... should I be writing specifically for each condition or in general?

Does all the Competencies need to be counter signed by anyone?
It will be very kind of you if you can send me the soft copy/ copy of your Competency and portfolio as it would be of great guide to me. My mail id is [email protected]

Regards
Mega
