Applying to the College

There is an Application for Registration form which all applicants or current registrants switching categories of registration must submit to the College. In addition, there are category-specific forms and additional documentation and fees that must accompany an application for registration.

The application guide has been designed to assist you in completing the forms, as well as providing general information about the application process.

Please remember that once you have submitted your completed application package it will take ten business days for College staff to process your application and issue a certificate of registration. You cannot begin work as a physiotherapist or physiotherapy resident until you are registered with the College. Please plan your employment start dates accordingly.
