The Australian Physiotherapy Council is committed to building an inclusive, sustainable and ethical future.
In October 2024, the Council launched its inaugural Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Framework to ensure that we operate in ways that positively impact the communities we serve and the world around us.
This Framework keeps our organisation accountable for not only meeting the evolving demands of the physiotherapy profession but also leading by example in areas that matter most to our people, our profession, and the world.
Vision statement
As a people-focused organisation, we share an authentic commitment to promoting an inclusive and caring society, upholding excellence in governance, and supporting a sustainable environment for future generations.
