PNZ Strategy 2021-2025

PNZ Strategy 2021-2025

Commenced in July 2021, PNZ Strategy 2021-2025 identifies our current organisational priorities and goals. Written by the PNZ Executive with input from across the membership, this highlights our united focus in supporting physiotherapists to lead improved health outcomes for Aotearoa.

The strategy builds on members’ work across the profession and looks to realise opportunities from the Health and Disability System Review. Please read the strategy and watch the Chair of the PNZ Executive introduce our priorities in the video below. 

Thank you once again for your support as we strive to do more for members, the profession and health of Aotearoa.


Strategic Priorities

To achieve our purpose of supporting physiotherapists to lead improved health outcomes for Aotearoa, our strategic plan has five initiatives:

  • Supporting equity for Māori
  • Leading voice in healthcare
  • Optimally skilled physiotherapists
  • A healthy PNZ
  • Engaged and connected members
