hi there just a quick note from a chiropractor who immigrated and sat boards in new zealand where i have lived ever since. It is a wonderful and beautiful country full of nice kiwis. So with that in mind just a thought. The kiwis just work on basic competency even though they are thorough all of my qualifications were just NZQA which is the Qualifications Authority just basically making sure you went through a real training program. Secondly the boards athough I admit to being terrified were really just showing that we were competent in what we did nothing tricky unlike California. I would recommend trusting the kiwis and flying over and sorting out the requirements before hand like any board exams. The Waitangi is about treating other people with respect and equality and is an important part of the New Zealand
way of life and the same for us chiros. I hope that helps even though it is not specific. We work together as chiros with physios and docs here in New Zealand and are all respected and make a good living. So welcome to a unique and amazing country. cheers thom
Kiwis just say she ll be right mate
