Will a physiotherapy master's from Australia automatically get me registered with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia?
No. Graduation alone does not automatically guarantee registration with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia. You must also meet the Board's applicable requirements, including those linked to an approved qualification and the registration application itself. Compare accreditation and registration outcomes when you choose a programme.
No, graduating does not on its own guarantee registration. You still need to satisfy the Physiotherapy Board of Australia's requirements, which include holding an approved qualification and completing the registration application. Pick your programme with that in mind.

My Advice
Before you accept an offer, ask the university in writing how its course connects to registration and read the Board's own guidance. That one check protects you from a costly surprise after graduation.
