Assessment for Skilled Migration

The Australian Physiotherapy Council assesses qualifications and skills for the occupation of Physiotherapists for the purpose of migration to Australia under the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) Skilled Migration program. This is not an assessment for registration purposes.

The Australian Physiotherapy Council has a separate and different assessing role for physiotherapists seeking to qualify for registration – go to http://www.physiocouncil.com.au/assessment for details.

One of the first steps in applying for skilled migration is to nominate an occupation from the “Skilled Occupation List” and have your skills and qualifications assessed by the relevant assessing authority. If your nominated occupation is “physiotherapist” then the Australian Physiotherapy Council is the relevant assessing authority.

There are two different assessments you can apply for:

  1. If you do not require DIAC to consider your skilled employment for the purpose of awarding points you should use this form to apply for an assessment of your skills and qualifications, without a skilled employment assessment. Download Assessment Form HERE

 

  1. If you require DIAC to consider your skilled employment for the purpose of awarding points, you should use this form to apply for an assessment of your skills and qualifications, including skilled employment. Download Assessment Form HERE

 

Please Note:

The Australian Physiotherapy Council does not provide information about migrating to Australia. If you are overseas and you intend to migrate to Australia, you should contact your nearest Australian Embassy, Consulate or High Commission (overseas post) for information about migration processes and requirements. If you intend to migrate under the skilled migration program, important information is available via the DIAC website www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/ It is essential that you read the DIAC website information about skilled migration carefully before proceeding with either of these applications.
