Australian Registered

The Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Act (TTMRA) came into effect on 1^st May 1998. It provides for the mutual recognition of regulatory standards adopted in Australia and New Zealand regarding goods and occupations.

If you have registration in Queensland, Western Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, or the Northern Territory, you can apply for registration in New Zealand under the TTMRA. Your application will be treated as for New Zealand graduates.

However TTRMA only applies to registration applications for the scopes of practice of:

Diagnostic Imaging General Technologist

Radiation Therapist

Nuclear Medicine Technologist

If you hold an Australian qualification and are seeking registration in a scope of practice outside of the above, you will need to apply according to the requirements for an overseas-qualified applicant.

All applications are to be made on the Board-issued registration application form. See link at bottom of this page to download a copy of the Application for Registration form.

You must ensure you sign and date the application form and also provide:

An original or certified copy of your qualification.

Two Certificates of Good Character that have been completed by persons unrelated to you, and one of whom is a practising medical radiation technologist. See link at the bottom of this page to download a copy of a Certificate of Good Character form.

Should you wish to be registered in a name different to that on your qualification documentation, you will also need to provide evidence of a name change. An original document or certified copy of the relevant document (e.g. marriage certificate) is required. A photocopy may be certified as a true copy by a solicitor, Notary Public, Justice of the peace, or an Officer of the Court.

A certified copy of your registration with an Australian registration board.

A curriculum vitae.

Your application must be accompanied by a Fee Payment form along with the payment of the registration fee of $315.00. See link at the bottom of this page to download a copy of a Fee Payment form.
