Registration with the appropriate Podiatrists Registration Board is a mandatory requirement before a person can practise in the profession in Australia or New Zealand.
In order for overseas-qualified podiatrists to be registered they are required to undergo examination procedures established by the office of the Australasian Podiatry Council. These procedures include a written examination in the multiple-choice-question format of about two hours duration in total (Stage One), and a practical and oral examination (Stage Two) which will require a full day to complete.
For more information regarding the assessment and examination process, contact the Australian Podiatry Council (ApodC).
Australian Education International (AEI), through the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (AEI-NOOSR), provides official information and advice on the comparability of overseas education qualifications with Australian qualifications. This aims to help overseas qualified people work and study in Australia.
