The Pat Cosh Trust was established to enable physiotherapists working or residing in Victoria to provide high-quality care to the general public.

The purpose of the Trust is to improve the education of practitioners and students by initiating and supporting programs that improve their ability to practice, and funding research to improve their standard of education.

Pat Cosh Trust Strategic Grant – Now closed.

Funding of up to $150,000 (excluding GST) will be available for lead researchers in Victoria.

Our response to the Federal Budget delivered by the Treasurer on Tuesday 9 May 2023. 

The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) welcomes the Federal Government’s commitment to quality health care reform through measures that enable multidisciplinary care, invest in more Urgent Care Clinics and provide a much-needed boost to Medicare:

Our inaugural APA mentoring programs are coming to a close for 2022 and we would like to thank everyone who participated. We recognise that these programs would not be successful without the genuine passion and dedication of our members.

We are delighted to announce and celebrate the nominees and winners of the 2022 Australian Physiotherapy Association and Art of Mentoring Mentor and Mentee of the year awards.

Our vision for reconciliation

The APA vision for reconciliation is for all Australians to value and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledge, expertise, connections to land and sea and traditional ways of healing, and for stronger relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous Australians based on trust, respect, and free of racism.
