There are risks inherent in everything we do, however as a physiotherapist, you are faced with a very unique set of risks in your day-to-day work - particularly if you are running your own practice.

The provision of risk management services to physiotherapists is a fundamental component of our commitment to the physiotherapy profession and the Australian Physiotherapy Association.

That's why we've made identifying of the potential risks you face, and providing appropriate risk guidance and solutions, an integral part of our insurance service.

Guild Risk Services

Guild Risk Services is a dedicated risk management team within Guild that works to develop targeted risk management guidance and solutions. Guild Risk Services aims to assist physiotherapists in making risk management a fundamental part of their business, thereby maximising your opportunities for success.

Guild Risk Services has been awarded one of the highest honours within the insurance industry, winning the title 'Risk Team of the Year' in the 2008 Australia and New Zealand Insurance Industry Awards.

The accolade was awarded to Guild Risk Services for "excellence in their provision of value adding risk management services to Guild Insurance clients". Guild Risk Services was commended for its strong commitment to increasing risk management awareness and understanding among Guild staff and clients.

Working with the Australian Physiotherapy Association

Guild Risk Services has worked closely with the Australian Physiotherapy Association since the inception of our relationship with physiotherapists in 2002. The aim of this relationship has been to provide physiotherapists with the tools and knowledge needed to mitigate practice risks and therefore reduce insurance claims.
