Media Releases

The APA plays an important role in Australian health and public policy development, and in promoting the role of physiotherapy in the health and wellbeing of Australians. One way we send our message is through media release distribution.

We can provide physiotherapists specifically for comment or advice on a variety of issues including those listed below. Please contact the APA's national office to arrange interviews and request images for publication.
