What Is the Assessment Based on?

The assessment is based on the following standards:

• Public safety is assured
• Academic governance and quality assurance processes are effective
• Program design, delivery and resourcing enable students to achieve the required professional attributes and competencies
• Assessment is fair, valid and reliable

The Council does not prescribe the content of learning programs, but requires Education Providers to demonstrate that their program’s learning outcomes achieve the Physiotherapy Practice Thresholds – Australia & NZ key competencies and foundational abilities.

How to Apply?

The application template requires Education Providers to include a short statement addressing each criterion and an explanation of the evidence submitted to demonstrate the standard is met.

Education Providers should include any further relevant evidence and information to support their submission. In making its decision, the Council relies on both documentary evidence submitted by the Education Provider and experiential evidence obtained by the Assessment Panel at a site visit. Hard copies of information are not required. Education Providers are encouraged to use hyperlinks to key documents within the application, rather than uploading large files.
