I am Lieneke and I am a migrant from The Netherlands. I have a Dutch qualification as a Chiropodist in The Netherlands. I worked there for 4 years as a sole trader and for home care organizations. Apart from basic foot care, I also treated diabetic patients.
I have tried to get any recognition for my diplomas or recognition of prior learning at the podiatry board or the podiatry courses in South Australliia. Their response was nil, redo your total course here in Australia and forget about your overseas qualifications.
Does anybody have any positive experience? I like to know.
To be eligible to undertake these procedures a candidate must have completed a three-year full-time tertiary course or its part-time equivalent. Applicants who have successfully completed one of the approved courses listed at that site are exempted from the Stage One examination. The Australasian Podiatry Council will consider other qualifications and experience on an individual basis. Candidates must also have current registration, or be eligible for registration, in the country where the qualification was granted. Some UK-registered applicants may be exempt from the examination process. In addition, applicants must also be eligible to migrate to Australia, or have permanent residence status, or be eligible to seek employment in Australia.
