Specialisation by research
Applications for Fellowship by Original Contribution are no longer being accepted.
Fellowship by Original Contribution is being transitioned to the new Specialist Research Physiotherapist (SRP) Pathway. This pathway introduces a contemporary credential specifically designed for research physiotherapists. It recognises expertise, leadership and the significant impact physiotherapists contribute through research.
The SRP credential is underpinned by the national APA Research Physiotherapy Competence and Capability Framework, ensuring a rigorous and nationally relevant standard of excellence.
Currently in its pilot phase, the SRP Pathway is scheduled for formal launch to APA members in early 2026.
