Please contact us to request an occupational therapy specific Clinical Education Placements Summary form. If you complete anything other than the OT specific form, you will be asked to complete the correct form which will result in delays to your application being processed.
Upon receipt of your overseas registration application, overseas registration body or agency-specific forms and proof of payment, the application process will begin.
It may take eight weeks (or longer) to complete as multiple areas of the University are involved in the preparation, collection, collation and verification of documents for overseas registration.
Once completed, the verified and signed documents are stamped and packaged for mailing directly to the overseas registration body or agency (unless otherwise instructed) from the University. Applicants will receive an electronic copy of the overseas registration package for their records.
