Hi there, I have just finished the procedure for recognition in Australia, it took me two years. You can have info, study material and chats with all the colleagues involved in this procedure from all over the world.
Go to
aapta@yahoogroups.com
Aapta stands for Australian alliance of physiotherapists trained abroad. It was born because of a need for us to form a group of protest against this procedure which is highly unfair.
I personally lead the group, I am in touch with around 200 physios in the condition of trying to pass the process or just gone through. We are a strong association that will be officially instituted soon.
There is a big story about this procedure. It has been on the newspapers and in Parliament. We are pushing to have changes of the system: the exams are set in a way that is impossible to pass and the cost is very high.
To know all the story you can visit the Australian Parliament site of the Committee of migration for skills recognition at

That's my report to them before my public hearing.
Good luck.
