Giving this a bump

Hi, My partner and I are considering moving to Perth/surrounding areas over the next 18 - 24 months. I understand there are 2 pathways to the skills assessment with the Australian Physiotherapy Council (APC): 1. Standard pathway - full eligibility assessment (UK), written exam (UK), and practical exam (in Australia). Cost circa 7000 AUD. Can take up to 2 years; or 2. Equivalence of Qualification pathway - can be as quick as 6 weeks; costs circa 2200 AUD. Number 2 is the more attractive option, however, my partner's qualification is not listed on the APC's list of equivalent qualifications (she graduated in 1999 and has 15+ years experience as a physio in both the NHS and private sector). There is an option to request that her qualification is assessed, subject to provision of documentation from her University: Official statement of entry requirements and course length Official statement naming the accreditation authority for my course Official statement of requirements for course completion and qualifications of course head or leader Program Schedule/Course Map Completed Australian Standards template (please see enclosed attachment) Subject/unit descriptions for all subjects/units in program Document outlining clinical education program/model Document detailing infrastructure and resources available Quality systems and review procedures document Graduation certificate . Official results transcripts Does anyone have experience of going down this route (which I believe is a relatively new option with the APC) and if so, are there any major potential hitches with the equivalence pathway? Thanks in advance. template-australian-standards-for-physiotherapy.docx template-australian-standards-for-physiotherapy.docx
