Welcome

This is the official website of the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), which represents over 12 000 physiotherapists around Australia. The APA works with governments and educational bodies to try to ensure that a quality physiotherapy service is available when and where you need it. We know just how important it is for people to keep moving right throughout their life.

Don’t trust your health to just anyone—make sure that your physiotherapist is an APA Member. Look for the APA logo as your assurance of quality and remember Move well, Stay well.
