Migration and Australian work visa pathways for physiotherapists

Physiotherapists can apply for 189,It is one of the majors that does not require scoring and is easy to be exploited. In the two fiscal years of 189, the focus is still on occupations that are in short supply, especially the “three auspicious treasures” – teachers, medical professionals, and social workers.The invitation points for physiotherapists last financial year was 65, compared to majors such as computer science and engineering, which often require scores of more than 85 points, it can be said to be a “win-win major”!Although it has not been issued in this fiscal year, it is not difficult to judge from the invitation issuance situation in the past two fiscal years.The medical category continues to be favored by 189, and physical therapists have a good chance of landing with low scores.

Subclass 189 invitation scores and migration opportunities for physiotherapists
