Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 10ª Região - CREFITO 10

What Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 10ª Região - CREFITO 10 does

CREFITO-10 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 10ª Região) is a Brazilian professional regulatory council — an autarquia profissional — established by Resolução COFFITO nº 252 on May 29, 2003, under Lei Federal nº 6.316/1975. It operates as the regional branch of the Conselho Federal de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional (COFFITO) with exclusive statutory authority to register, regulate, and fiscalize the professional practice of physiotherapists and occupational therapists in the state of Santa Catarina (the 10th Region). The council is governed by an elected colegiado of professionals led by President Dr. André Cruz and Vice-President Dra. Luciana Staut Ayres de Souza, supported by directors and 18 elected counselors.

The council's service delivery rests on a hybrid digital-physical infrastructure. The proprietary Portal do Profissional (hosted at crefito-10.implanta.net.br) handles registration, fee payment, professional lookup, and debt renegotiation, complemented by a public-facing Portal de Transparência for accountability, the weekly Radar CREFITO-10 newsletter, the Pesquisas – Responda Aqui research participation platform, a job opportunities board (Oportunidades de Trabalho), the Clube de Vantagens benefits program, and a direct-to-president communication channel. Physical service is delivered through the Florianópolis headquarters and four regional secretariats in Joinville, Criciúma, Chapecó, and Lages, which together provide statewide coverage.

The revenue model is a statutory recurring subscription: annual professional registration fees (anuidades) collected from every registered physiotherapist and occupational therapist in Santa Catarina. Pricing of professional services is referenced through COFFITO's honorário tables (e.g., the Referencial de Honorários da Terapia Ocupacional with a CV reference value of R$0.73 for 2023), but the council itself monetizes exclusively through the anuidade stream and operates as a non-profit public entity rather than a commercial enterprise. With 17 employees, CREFITO-10 is a small, legally mandated regulator whose strategic posture is defined by its statutory mandate rather than competitive market dynamics.
