Is it easy for me as a foreigner to work as a physiotherapist in Australia after doing the authorisation?

Question

I am an egyptain physiotherapist seeking to authorise my qualification to work in Australia.

Answer 1

If you are willing to work in remote areas you'll have a much better chance of getting work. Look closely at South Australia, or maybe remote NT or WA. Good luck! You will be welcome if you succeed in coming.

Answer 2

Physiotherapy is a profession in which Australia has a shortage of practitioners, but you will have to be granted a Skilled Worker visa before you will be able to move to Australia and work.

Go to http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-s... for full information on visa eligibility and requirements. You will have to pass a points test and must meet Australian health requirements as well as English language requirements. Your physiotherapy qualification must be authorised by the Australian Physiotherapy Council. See details on page 18 of the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) Form 1121i PDF for registration details:
