Frequently asked questions

ABOUT THE FÉDÉRATION

Who can become a Fédération member?

The Fédération has three categories of members:

Membres corporatifs (Corporate members): a company or legal entity that mainly offers physiotherapy services and operates in Québec.
Membres associé·es (Associate members): a natural person who is currently a member of the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
Membres étudiant·es (Student members): a natural person duly enrolled in a college or university physiotherapy program.

For further information, see our general rules (available in French only).

How much does membership cost?

For Membres corporatifs (Corporate members): The amount of your annual dues is based on the number of physiotherapy hours worked in your clinic by physiotherapists and physiotherapy technologists. The ratio of these hours, based on a 35-hour week, determines th amount of your dues.

The number of hours worked corresponds to those ser out in the agreements or contracts between the clinic and its therapists. To calculate the amount of your membership, see our calculation simulator at the bottom of our subscription form (data won’t be saved until you’ve decided to complete the form).

Did you know? If your physiotherapy clinic has never been a Fédération member, you can benefit from our Découverte de la Fédération (Discover the Fédération) offer and receive a 30% discount in the first year*.

Membres associé·es (Associate members): $90.
Membres étudiant·es (Student members): free of charge.

* After the first year and upon membership renewal, the regular rate applies.
