Thanks for your reply Oscar

Just to clarify if i'm unable to find work in England, I could do voluntary work anywhere in the world as long as it amounts to a years work? Are there a specific number of hours i would need to do? Or do you know of a website I could use to find this type of information?

My original plan was to take the ACOPRA exams and work in australia. but if Ii qualify in July 08, and if I pass the eligibility assessment, it wont be till sept 2009 till I can take the written exam. So I was thinking if I take the year and try to find work/work experience as a physiotherapist, I could apply to be registered in NZ and then work in NZ before going to Australia using the Trans Tasman agreement. Does that sound like a viable route? or would I also need to take exams to work in NZ? And if so, would the process be as long?

Thank you for your help
