There are two routes to get registered in New Zealand as an overseas educated applicant. See more information on our New Zealand physiotherapy registration page: Physiotherapy Registration in New Zealand

Australian registered physiotherapists currently registered with General (unconditional) registration and holding entitlement to practise in Australia, are entitled to seek registration in New Zealand under the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 (“The TTMR Act”).

All other internationally qualified physiotherapists must seek registration under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCA Act).

We also maintain a useful section in our Physio Forum dedicated to working in New Zealand as a physiotherapist. See more here: Working as a physiotherapist in New Zealand
