International Registration
Our Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy) degree is internationally recognised, and many of our physiotherapy graduates go on to seek work overseas in places such as the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America and Europe. Our graduates are in demand, and many enjoy the opportunity to travel around the world whilst working in their chosen profession.
As an Australian physiotherapist wishing to practice as a physiotherapist in another country, you are required to obtain International Registration as a Physiotherapist in that particular country. The registration procedures and forms vary significantly from country to country, and in some countries you are required to go through an agent. You will need to contact the relevant Registering Office in these countries to apply, you will also need to contact the School of Physiotherapy at Curtin University of Technology, as the School will need to provide details on course information, clinics, hours of study and so on.
Please contact the School's Academic Secretary.
