Supporting Your Practice

Whether you work in a hospital, private clinic, your own practice, home care, long-term care, as a researcher or academic, for a school board or large industry employer, membership in OPA provides a one-stop resource. OPA has a range of member services and benefits designed to support the practice of physiotherapy.

Through the Association, the issues that matter to the profession and to how you practice physiotherapy are being addressed. The Association is actively engaged in advocacy and in influencing the legislation and government policies that impact your practice including funding of physiotherapy services by government and by third party payors.

Physiotherapy students also benefit from membership in OPA. Students can attend conferences, workshops and other events and programs at a discounted rate. The Association provides students with an excellent marketing and networking channel to meet prospective employers and to get a better appreciation of the numerous opportunities within the profession.
