Compensation Reports

About Compensation Reports

OPA, in collaboration with itracks, conducted a compensation survey that was distributed to physiotherapists across Ontario in late 2022. The goal of this survey was to collect data about compensation and benefits within various sectors and examine factors impacting career decisions and job satisfaction.

OPA is pleased to present the results of this survey, which are published in the form of a general report of methods and demographics, a cross-sector analysis report, and sector-specific reports for private practice, hospital and rehab, long-term care, research and academia, home care, and primary care. The general report and sector reports are accompanied by short visual graphics that summarize key data points and themes.

Intended Use of The Reports:

These reports are not a tool to determine appropriate compensation levels for physiotherapists in specific workplaces. Rather, these reports reflect compensation for PTs in winter 2022-2023. The reports and graphics give context and understanding of the landscape to assist those working on their own compensation goals.

The Government of Ontario passed Bill 149 in 2024 which requires salary band publication in job postings which will lead to increased pay transparency. By sharing these compensation reports, OPA can support physiotherapists in making their own judgments about published rates of pay. Finally, these reports provide insights to increase OPA’s understanding of workforce and health human resource issues and will inform discussion with other partners in the healthcare sector.
