Physiotherapy Standards Framework
Board | te Poari Professional Advisor Kathryn Hutchinson introduces the Code Standards Framework (the Framework) and highlights some of its key points.
The Physiotherapy Standards Framework provides the foundation for the regulation of physiotherapy in Aotearoa New Zealand. This framework outlines the minimum expectations members of the public should have of individual practitioners and the profession as a whole.
If you or a family member has had an experience with a physiotherapist that does not meet the expectation of this framework you may wish to raise a concern or complaint here.
The introduction to the Standards Framework can be downloaded here.
This framework consists of three key documents:
-
The Aotearoa New Zealand Physiotherapy Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
-
The Physiotherapy Standards
-
The Physiotherapy practice thresholds
