The physiotherapy community is central to the Australian Physiotherapy Council’s voice. Our engagement with the physiotherapy community is founded on genuine partnership, meaningful collaboration and deep trust.
We are committed to represent the rich tapestry of voices across physiotherapy and champion innovation and collaborative partnerships to become a workforce enabler.
So, whose voice are we representing?
The Council’s voice is vast and diverse across the Australian physiotherapy landscape—bringing together physiotherapy educators, clinicians, supervisors, managers and emerging leaders. Every voice matters.
The Council listens, learns and grows by involving the broad Australian physiotherapy workforce in our work. Whether at the start of their career or a seasoned practitioner, we collect insights which drive our strategic direction and key initiatives.
We have shown a strong commitment to meaningful reconciliation, fostering inclusion, and building genuine partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to ensure culturally safe physiotherapists.
As the needs of our communities and the healthcare workforce evolve, the Council remains on the forefront of best practices in accreditation and assessment of entry level physiotherapists.
How do we engage?
People and strong relationships lie at the heart of the Council. We proactively seek input and expertise from people across the physiotherapy community, through forums, feedback sessions, yarns, and multiple platforms for open dialogue—giving a chance for every perspective to be heard and valued.
Our relational and collaborative spirit helps us represent the physiotherapy profession in areas such as regulation, accreditation, education and international migration.
Examples of collaborations with the physiotherapy profession we proudly highlight:
- developed new accreditation standards

Every Council initiative is shaped by insights from our broader community, ensuring our work remains responsive, relevant, and of the highest quality.
