The course is accredited, but there are many question marks over the body, and until those are addressed, there will be confusion. If physical therapists as a group are to be regulated under the Bill, they would have to meet the same criteria as the other professions, and currently they do not do so. It is therefore impossible to regulate them under the Bill as it stands and with the information that we currently have. I am thus unable to accept the Senator's amendments.
