New Zealand Registration - Trans Tasman Agreement

[Roger-Ramjet]

Hi All,

I am new to the forum here, so apologies if this topic has been covered before, as I have heard a few conflicting stories..

As per the title of this thread I am looking for some advice/experiences as to applying to work in New Zealand - to spend some time there (6 months) and move onto Australia. I know (at least once upon a time) under the Trans Tasman agreement a New Zealand registered physio could work in Australia. The benefit of course, avoiding the APC exam. I am an Australian citizen so other things so I wonder would this weigh in my favour?

I have a contact in Australia who is adament this is still the case, but have also heard from a migration lawyer that this route has been closed in on in recent years.

Thanks for any advice.

R

Hi R,
if you have got Physio registration in NZ and hold a current Annual Practicing Certificate, you can apply for Australian registration under the Trans Tasman Agreement.
NZ Registered Physiotherapists — Australian Physiotherapy Council

Note, that this is a professional qualification only and has got nothing to do with immigration.
Cheers,

Fyzzio,
Thank you very much for your speedy reply! Delighted that is the case, I will go forward with applying for my NZ licence.

Thanks again.
