As part of our health and safety response to COVID-19, the Board’s office is closed.
While we are not currently directly affected by the virus, we are taking a precautionary approach and have activated our Business Continuity Plan which includes staff working remotely. We are provisionally continuing this approach under Level 2.
Our office phones have been diverted to mobile and you can still call us on the Board Office number but our preference is that you contact us via email at physio@physioboard.org.nz
We aim to continue to provide a full service however there may be some delays – we will do our absolute best and ask for your understanding and patience at this time.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

It is frustrating for us and the profession alike that there is currently only high-level guidance available. (more…)
