How do you become a physiotherapist?
Physiotherapists undertake a health science-based four-year degree programme from one of the two New Zealand schools of physiotherapy. This programme includes assessment, diagnosis and treatment of injuries and medical conditions; it also includes 1,000 hours of supervised clinical experience.
The two schools of physiotherapy in New Zealand are based at the University of Otago http://physio.otago.ac.nz/ and at the Auckland University of Technology http://www.aut.ac.nz/schools/rehabilitation_and_occupation_studies/
Physiotherapists are professionally qualified with either a Diploma in Physiotherapy (pre-1991), a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, or a qualification from overseas approved by the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand. Many NZSP members continue with postgraduate studies, often as members of the NZ College of Physiotherapy.
All physiotherapists practising in New Zealand need to be registered by the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand and hold an Annual Practising Certificate (APC) issued by the Board. To obtain an APC, each physiotherapist must produce evidence of continuing competence through ongoing professional education. For more information see www.physioboard.org.nz
