Active Rehabilitation Physiotherapy has been recognised for the quality and safety of their service with the award of accreditation by Quality Innovation Performance (QIP). QIP is Australia’s most comprehensive not-for-profit accreditation organisation, dedicated to delivering accreditation and support services to a diverse range of organisations including physiotherapy practices, diagnostic imaging services, dental practices and community services.

“Accreditation is a major achievement and a clear demonstration that Active is committed to providing south-east Queensland with access to high quality health services”, Mr Gary Smith, Chair of QIP, said today. “Striving to continually improve how you support your patients to get the best health outcomes should be commended, and QIP congratulate Active Rehab on reaching this benchmark”, he said. QIP accreditation is based on national standards that are set by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA). The APA is the peak body representing the interests of Australian physiotherapists and their patients. To achieve an endorsement of accreditation, Active Rehab has demonstrated that they meet all requirements of the APA standards.
