Hi Physio88
I am looking to do the same thing as you. I have just finished my 1st year of Physio and am hoping to do 2 months of work experience in New Zealand at the end of my 2nd year, so around May/June 2009. I agree it's difficult where to start so i have emailed the NZSP (New Zealand Society of Physiotherapists) and the Physio Board to find out more info. At the momement i'm working along the lines of a physio assistant.
Will let you know if i find out any more info.
These posts have been very helpful to me and it's nice to know there's someone else looking to do the same thing.
Sam
