Advocacy

Advocacy is an important part of the work PABC does to support and advance the interests of its members and the physiotherapy profession.

PABC's CEO, staff, Board, committee members, and other volunteers make up the strong advocacy groups that work behind the scenes on the initiatives that are pushed forward as PABC advocacy and campaigns. PABC staff and volunteers ensure the voices of BC's physiotherapists are heard.

Active Files

Below are the files that PABC is actively working on.

Pacific Blue Cross (PBC) has changed what is eligible for physiotherapy coverage. If your employer benefits package includes PBC, these changes may mean you can no longer bill for treatment you have previously received.

Talk to your union or your employer to find out more about how this will affect you, your loved ones, and the public care environment.
