Dear A KS
In response to your OIA request:
1:- Please tell in which year that diploma started and in which year the diploma was discontinued.
The GradDipHSc for overseas trained physiotherapists commenced in 2014 and was discontinued in
2015.
2:-Please tell ,at the moment, is AUT offering any other similar program in place of the discontinued
program ( in which overseas trained and non NZ registered Physios are eligible to enrol.).
There is no current offering of the GradDipHSc for overseas trained or non-NZ registered
physiotherapists.
3:- Please tel whether AUT has a plan to restart that discontinued program or a similar program in
any future academic session as absence of such program is a big loss to overseas trained
physiotherapists and indirectly to the NZ healthcare sector.
There is no current plan to recommence a GradDipHSc for overseas trained physiotherapists.
Yours sincerely
Alison Sykora
