The Australian Physiotherapy Council is a not-for-profit public company that plays a vital role in the field of physiotherapy. Their main responsibilities include accrediting entry-level physiotherapy programs offered by Australian universities and assessing overseas practitioners who wish to practice physiotherapy in Australia. As the appointed accrediting authority for physiotherapy under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS), they work closely with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra).

The Council carries out a range of activities to deliver their accreditation and assessment services. This includes accrediting physiotherapy education programs, assessing the qualifications and skills of overseas-qualified physiotherapists, and providing advice and recommendations to relevant organizations. They also focus on maintaining and reviewing the Accreditation Standards and engaging in national and international collaboration with other professional bodies.

Driven by their core values, the Council aims to make a positive impact on people's lives and ensure a smooth and efficient experience for all stakeholders. They strive to enhance the standards of education and practice in physiotherapy and contribute to the global recognition of physiotherapy qualifications.
