Professional Bodies (Australian Podiatry Association – Tasmania and the Australasian Podiatry Council)
The Australian Podiatry Association – Tasmania is the professional representative body for podiatrists in Tasmania about 80% of registered podiatrists are members of the Association. The Australasian Podiatry Council is the national body and consists of the affiliated state and territory associations and the New Zealand association. The role of the Council and State Associations includes;

* Organisation of continuing education programs for podiatrists.
* Promotion of podiatry as a profession and a community service.
* Setting competency standards for the profession including an Accredited Podiatrist Program.
* Accreditation of Undergraduate training courses.
* Support and promote research by podiatrists.

The role and function of the Board and Association are different. However, both bodies share a common aim of ensuring high standard podiatry services in Tasmania. Whereas registration with the Board is a requirement by law, membership of the Association is not compulsory.
