Clinical Excellence & Regulatory Compliance Program

Clinical Excellence & Regulatory Compliance Program Overview

A 3-Month Remediation and Best Practice Course for Registered Physiotherapists in Australia. This structured 12-week program is designed for registered physiotherapists in Australia who are undergoing a performance review by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), or who have received formal feedback regarding areas of concern in their clinical practice.

Delivered by senior clinicians, including APA-titled and advanced MSK physiotherapists, the course provides targeted remedial training aligned with AHPRA and Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) standards. In addition to core regulatory content, participants will also receive clinical upskilling drawn from our advanced-level Advancing MSK Program – Block A and Block B, ensuring both compliance and excellence in practice.

Why This Program?

AHPRA performance reviews are typically triggered by concerns around:

•Clinical reasoning and decision-making

•Risk management and patient safety

•Documentation and informed consent

This program is tailored to address these areas and supports physiotherapists in demonstrating genuine remediation and professional growth.
