Hi Reshu,
The Australian Council of Physiotherapy Regulating Authorities Incorporated (ACOPRA Inc now called APC) has prepared a paper on limited registration for overseas qualified physiotherapists. This paper was prepared due to the national shortage of physiotherapists and attempted to provide a more flexible approach to registering overseas qualified physiotherapists who may want to work in Australia for a limited time. The paper proposed that State Boards may be able to register overseas qualified physiotherapists for a period of up to 12 months under conditions including that of supervision. The criteria governing temporary registration for Overseas Qualified Physiotherapists is designed to ensure: adequate screening of overseas qualified physiotherapists in relation to their qualifications and work experience; and appropriate supervision arrangements by the host facility to ensure public safety.
You are required to undertake the Australian Physiotherapy Council assessment process for being eligible to practice as physiotherapist with one of the Australian State or Territory Physiotherapists Registration Boards. If you do not have at least one years experience in the practice of physiotherapy (after graduation), you may find that conditions on registration may apply in some Australian States/Territories.
The first step is to apply for an assessment of your eligibility to undertake the examinations. To practice Physiotherapy in Australia, you must be registered with the local State or Territory physiotherapy registration authority. Applications for assessment of eligibility for the professional examinations are accepted throughout the year.
The Australian Physiotherapy Council assessment process for overseas qualified physiotherapists who are required to complete the professional examinations in physiotherapy has three stages: Eligibility Assessment, Written Examination and Clinical Examination. All Candidates are also required to meet the English Language Requirement. For more details visit the website (http://www.physiocouncil.com.au/).

Hi Lovely,
Physical Fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body. It is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.
A strong mind resides in a healthy body. This saying had never been more significant. The fast pace of modern lifestyle has led to an unimaginable amount of Physical and Psychological stress on human body and mind. Consequently, demand for trained fitness instructors has increased.
Modern work environment has led to a sedentary life style with little scope for physical exercise. This has resulted in a large section of the society, especially in urban areas, falling prey to deadly maladies such as:
1. Diabetes.
2. Heart disease.
3. Obesity.
4. Hypertension and so on.
Today, fitness in India is a whopping Rs.2, 000 crore industry and most fitness centers are swanky studios offering an array of fitness regimes such as:
1. Aerobics.
2. Kickboxing.
3. Yoga.
4. Dancercise and other workouts with sophisticated machines.
With gyms and health clubs mushrooming all over the country, the demand for qualified instructors is going up sharply. And this spells good prospects for those aiming to pursue fitness as their career. Trainers with the 'right' qualification can teach just about anybody who can pay to be healthy and fit — from hardworking executives to the stressed-out CEOs, the politicians, the self-conscious student, the middle-aged housewife.
You can opt for a regular academic program in Physical Education from an institute such as:
1. The Indira Gandhi Institute of Physical Education and Sports Sciences (IGIPESS) - New Delhi.
2. Lakshmibai National College of Physical Education - Thiruvananthapuram and Gwalior.
The role of a fitness instructor can be classified as:
1. Aerobics instructor.
2. Clinical exercise specialist.
3. Group fitness or Gym instructor.
4. Personal trainer.
In India, trainers usually earn in the range of Rs.50, 000 to Rs.1, 240, 000 per month if they are established trainers.
Top Companies are mentioned below:
1. Sports Authority of India.
2. Government Institutions and Organizations.
3. Top notch Hotels and Resorts.
4. National as well as Multinational Health and Fitness clubs.
5. Sports clubs and Educational institutions.
6. Cine stars, Models, Businessmen and Sportsmen.

Hi Vishnu,
Cosmetology is an area of study and a career that focuses on hair, skin, and nails. Cosmetologists can do both hair and nails, or focus their careers in one area. With additional training and education a cosmetologist can also be an esthetician. Esthetics focuses on skin care only.
Training in beauty culture includes subjects like anatomy, physiology, client care, body language, sales and marketing, health and nutrition, besides knowledge of skin and hair, their characteristics and functions. Hairstyling is taught as an academic discipline in various polytechnics and also at some academies. Scientific and systematic training is important as much as it is to practice on live models and on blocks to get a feel of the actual process of hairstyling.
