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

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.

In all its capacities and functions the Board seeks to protect the health and safety of Māori and Tauiwi equitably.
