Time to renew APA Associate Membership

The Council is pleased that our enduring partnership with the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) is continuing to grow and serve our profession and wider community who access the services of Australian physiotherapists.

This partnership continues to be valuable to our candidates undertaking one of the Council’s assessment pathways. Through this partnership, APA offers our candidates free Associate Membership which provides a range of benefits as you work towards being a fully registered Australian physiotherapist.
