Strategic Plan

The Physiotherapy Board (the Board) is the regulatory body for Physiotherapists, established under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCA Act).

The 2021-2025 Strategic Plan is available here.

Strategic Principles

The principal purpose of this Act is to protect the health and safety of members of the public by providing for mechanisms to ensure that health practitioners are competent and fit to practise their professions. The Physiotherapy Board acknowledges Māori as tāngata whenua of Aotearoa; it honours the principles of partnership, protection, and participation as an affirmation of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. In all its capacities and functions the Board seeks to protect the health and safety of Māori and Tauiwi equitably.
