Limited Registration
Home / Limited Registration
Are you an overseas-qualified physiotherapist who has already settled in Australia?
If you’re looking for a physio job under limited registration, we’d love to hear from you!
We have physios in our team from various parts of the world including France, India and Korea. It’s part of what makes our team so diverse and strong.
If you are successful and join TPC under limited registration, we will help and support you through the APC process.
We understand it can be a challenging time and we’re there with you every step! We even have a monthly study group just for you and all our limited registered physiotherapists. In this session you will be guided through mock exams together with one of our physiotherapists who has passed her AHPRA registration.
Not sure about the registration process? Below is some detail to help you out.
Last thing – Please only apply once you’ve arrived in Australia. We only accept applications from potential team members who have settled in the location they will work.
What are the Registration Requirements?
The mandatory registration standards are listed below.
Refer to the Registration Standards of the relevant health profession for full details of the requirements for health practitioners and students. Some National Boards also have additional registration standards, codes and guidelines.
(Applicable to health practitioners and students.)
Specific factors are considered to determine whether the criminal history of health practitioners is relevant to the practice of their profession.
An international criminal history check will be required in circumstances where an applicant declares that they have resided in a country, other than Australia, for a period exceeding 6 months when aged 18 years of age or more or if a applicant or practitioner has declared a criminal history in a jurisdiction outside of Australia.
It is the responsibility of the applicant or practitioner to request and pay for this service through an AHPRA approved supplier.
For further information, please refer to the International criminal history checks page.
(Applicable to health practitioners applying for registration.)
All applicants must be able to demonstrate English language skills at IELTS academic level 7 or equivalent (7.5 for Pharmacy). Test results from examinations will generally need to be obtained within two years prior to applying for registration.
(Applicable to health practitioners.)
All practitioners require appropriate professional indemnity insurance (PII) to the level as specified by their National Board.
(Applicable to health practitioners with a practicing registration)
All practitioners must participate in activities that assist in maintaining and improving competence in their health profession, as determined by their National Board.
(Applicable to health practitioners applying for registration.)
All practitioners must have undertaken a certain number of hours of practice, as specified by their National Board, within preceding years of registration.
What will you need?
- In order to work under supervision at The Physio Co, you will need to hold a valid:
- Interim certificate.
- Australian Drivers licence and car
- AHPRA registration
- Police Check-aged care specific.
What is involved in the AHPRA process?
When the hardcopy application form or online renewal form is submitted, it is reviewed internally for completeness.
The supplied information is assessed against registration standards. At this stage the applicant may be required to supply further information or undergo various tests or examinations regarding competency or health issues. A recommendation is then made, which may be to register, register with conditions, or refuse.
If the application is straight forward and the recommendation is to register, a delegate of the Board may register the applicant without referring to the relevant National Board. Complicated cases will be referred to the National Board for resolution.
Our benefits for you!
- To help you through the process, we ensure you are:
- Well supported by providing you with an amazing supervisor
- Provide numerous education sessions throughout the year to help you grow and develop
- Once a month, we hold a limited registration group in which all our TPCers who are going through the process, get together to run through mock exams and complex cases with one of our senior physio’s who has successfully completed their AHPRA journey.
