Documents Required

Find out which documents are needed to complete your physiotherapy school application. Some documents you can complete online, and some you'll need to send us as PDFs. We break the process down for you in 3 easy steps!

Step 1

Send Official Transcripts

   OzTREKK requires one copy of your official transcript, from all institutions at which you’ve studied (must be in English). Please send transcripts via

  • Mail: Transcripts in their original, sealed envelopes must be mailed to the OzTREKK Office; or
  • Email: Transcripts must be sent from the school office/admissions office directly or through an official transcript service (e.g., Parchment or MyCreds) to transcripts@oztrekk.com. If you need to have a password on the digital transcript, please use the following:
    • Question: The educational agent that I am working with
    • Password: OZTREKK1 (no spaces, all capitals) or if there’s a character limit or an access code requirement, use 1234.

What if my documents are not in English?
If your documents are not in English, you must provide full translation of each document, either prepared by your university or by a registered translator. You must not translate the documents yourself.

Please note OzTREKK must receive the official translation directly from the university or translator in order to certify the document.

Step 2

Send Passport Photo Page & Complete SSVF Online

❑  Scan of your passport photo page – Please upload as a PDF via the myOzTREKK portal.

❑  Fill out the OzTREKK SSVF Form online. This information is collected to meet compliance requirements. If we require further information, we may contact you.

Step 3

Send University-specific Documents

OzTREKK only requires one copy of each document, even if you are applying to multiple programs.

All PDFs must be submitted via the myOzTREKK portal. Please do not send via email. We will confirm receipt of your documents as we receive them, so you can keep track.
