of the Evaluation Process. Candidates MUST download and read the Candidate
Guide, which is available on the last page, in order to be fully informed of
the Evaluation Process and requirements.
The Stage 1 - Desktop Audit is a paper-based
assessment of a candidate's educational qualifications. Qualifications will
be assessed in terms of occupational education as well as for general
comparability to Australian educational standards. The general
comparability of educational qualifications to Australian educational
standards will be based on the published Guidelines contained in the
Australian Education International - National Office of Overseas Skills
Recognition (AEI-NOOSR) Country Education Profiles for the country in which
the candidate obtained their qualifications. These Profiles reflect
research carried out by AEI-NOOSR.
The following Desktop Audit options are available:
-
the candidate holds a chiropractic qualification from an
accredited CCE program
(Form A1);
-
the candidate holds a chiropractic qualification from an
accredited Australian or New Zealand program
(Form A2);
-
the candidate is currently registered in Australia
or New Zealand, regardless of qualification
(Form A3) - (these candidates must hold both current registration
and a current practising certificate); or
-
none of the above
(Form A4).
The minimum criteria against which a
qualification assessment will be made is that the candidate:
In addition to the above, the candidate must also:
-
be currently registered, licensed or otherwise
officially recognised and in "good standing", or eligible for registration
or licensure, as a chiropractor in the country where they trained or
practise; AND
-
have English as a first language OR
have achieved a pass in the Occupational English Test or an overall score
of Band 7 at the academic level of the International English Language
Testing System.
English, as a first
language, is defined for the purposes of Evaluation as birth in a country
where English is an official language, secondary education is undertaken in
English and the candidate's chiropractic education was undertaken at an
institution where all instruction was in English.
