Physiotherapists are required by the Physiotherapy Board of Australia to continually upgrade their professional knowledge and skills to ensure the contribution they make to healthcare is of the highest standard.

To encourage members to participate in appropriate professional development activities, the APA has maintained a system of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) since 1999, which is a requirement for all members.

Objectives of the CPD program

  • To promote and assist in the continuing professional development of APA members
  • To recognise the professional development achievements of members
  • To demonstrate to external bodies the commitment of APA members to achieving the highest standards of professional practice
  • To provide a professional development framework for those wishing to participate in the APA Specialisation Program.

The APA CPD program requires members to accrue a minimum of 20 hours of CPD every year. Core Physiotherapy and Pilates studio hold fortnightly continuing education sessions with our physiotherapists to ensure maximum opportunity for development of skills and techniques, and providing better outcomes for our patients.Topics include areas such as:
