LANGUAGE
APTITUDE TEST
EDUCATION

The migrant must achieve knowledge in the German language in order to be able to apply for registration. Austria has no automatic recognition of migrants from other EU (European Union) and EFTA countries. Aptitude tests and adaption periods will be applied individually if there is a significant difference in the physiotherapy education of the applicant and the Austrian education requirements.

To become a regular member of the Austrian Physiotherapy Association the migrant must have a recognised diploma.

Please contact the Austrian Association for further details.
