Hi,
@ Emad: Right, I get you now. Completely agreed. One of my Indian colleagues did not need to do the IELTS, as she had worked in Britain for 3 years and her referees there, confirmed her English language skills. So, apparently, there is a way around the IELTS, as well. Could you try that way? Just a thought.

@Trendytiger: go to the NZ Physiotherapyboard website. You can download the application booklet with all the information. There is no academic test to do, like for Australian registration, but I don't know, what happens if you fail to meet any of the competencies. Maybe you have to do a test then? Anybody knows the answer to that?

Good luck,
Fuzzio
