The Scholarship Trust Awards needed updating in 1984, and in May 1984 Grace Wilson produced a dossier whose recommendations were accepted, and a Selection Committee was appointed. In November 1984 members suggested an Overseas Conference Fund be established, and branches were asked for comment. By December 1985 MRC felt they needed more time to consider this; in October 1986 the legal advisor agreed with Grace Wilson that this could be done.
Following changes in the Fellowship Rules for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists in England MRC was asked to reconsider NZ Fellowship Rules in February 1985. They produced a dossier with rules to cover the award of Fellow or Honorary Fellow. The Fellow was for original thesis etc and Honorary Fellowship for non-physiotherapists who had served the profession in some specific way. In January 1986 a Fellowship Committee was appointed. The advent of degree systems broadened academic and research work, and the Fellowship Regulations again needed to be reconsidered in May 1991.
At the AGM in March 1992 the regulation was passed to bring the Awarding of Fellowships into line with the practises elsewhere and to no longer make the award on the grounds of academic achievement alone.
Recognition of Academic Achievement was now obtainable through educational institutions.. With the advent of NZ College of Physiotherapy Fellowships were awarded by the College, not the Society.
In 1988 Proposals for the NZ College of Physiotherapy were written.
