Physios for Refugees aims to facilitate local jobs for Afghan physiotherapists who are in urgent need of a pathway to safety. Having a job offer in Australia, and an employer willing to sponsor them, will enable Afghan and other refugee physiotherapists and their families to travel to Australia on skilled visas (a much faster and more certain route than waiting for a place through the oversubscribed humanitarian programme).
