Student registration and graduates

The Physiotherapy Board has a range of resources for education providers, students, new graduates and interested others to assist in understanding what it means to be a registered physiotherapist in Australia.

Student registration

If you are enrolled in an approved program of study you do not need to apply for registration. Education providers will automatically pass on your details to the Board for registration. No fees are required.　

The Board will register you for the duration of study or clinical training in physiotherapy, or until you are no longer enrolled.

You can visit AHPRA’s Student Registration page for more information.
