CREFITO 11

What CREFITO 11 does

CREFITO 11 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 11ª Região) is a Brazilian federal public autarchy created by Lei Federal nº 6.316/1975, operating under the regulatory oversight of COFFITO (Conselho Federal de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional). Headquartered in Brasília, DF, the entity holds exclusive statutory authority to register, license, and regulate physiotherapy and occupational therapy professionals within its jurisdiction — currently the Distrito Federal and surrounding areas, following the 2022/2023 spin-off of Goiás to constitute the new CREFITO-19.

The organization operates a portfolio of digital services including the Portal do Profissional (online registration and management system hosted on crefito-11.implanta.net.br), Conecta CREFITO 11 (job and opportunities portal), Portal de Transparência (public governance portal), Validador de Certificados (event certificate verification), Ouvidoria (complaints channel), Sistema de Denúncia (whistleblower channel), Pre-Agendamento (appointment scheduling), and the CREFITO Universitário student engagement program. Complementary support programs include CREFITO Acolhe (psychological support) and Trilhas do Conhecimento (educational tracks via the Education Commission). A Rede de Benefícios partner network of 10+ commercial entities offers discounts on health, education, finance, and other services to registered professionals.

CREFITO 11 is funded through mandatory annual fees (anuidades) established by COFFITO under Lei Federal 12.514/2011, which carry mandatory tributary character — not commercial revenue. The entity is governed by a nine-member Plenário elected for four-year terms (currently 2023-2027) and led by Presidente Messias Rodrigues Fernandes. With 13 reported employees, the council focuses on professional licensing, ethics oversight, fiscalization, scientific event support, and member benefits rather than product or commercial expansion.

Direct peers

• CRM-DF (Conselho Regional de Medicina do Distrito Federal): The Regional Medical Council of DF, operating with the same federal autarchy structure under CFM oversight. Comparable business model (mandatory registration, tributary anuidades, ethics tribunal, fiscalization of professional practice) for a different profession in the same geography.
• OAB-DF (Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil — Seccional do Distrito Federal): The Brazilian Bar Association — DF section. Operates as the regulator of legal professionals in the same DF geography with mandatory registration, annual contributions, and ethics tribunal functions. Directly comparable business model of professional self-regulation in a single jurisdiction.
• CREFITO-19 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 19ª Região): Carved out from CREFITO 11's jurisdiction in 2022/2023 to cover Goiás. Operates with the identical regulatory mandate for physiotherapy/OT professionals in its own region and shares the same fee structure, digital platforms, and parent (COFFITO). The closest direct peer — same profession, immediately adjacent geography, split from the same institution.
• COREN-DF (Conselho Regional de Enfermagem do Distrito Federal): The Regional Nursing Council of the Federal District — operates in the same geography (DF) with the same core business model: registration of healthcare professionals, annual fee collection with tributary character, ethics tribunal, and federal oversight (COFEN). Direct peer because the operational pattern, revenue model, and regulatory function mirror CREFITO 11's exactly, differing only in the profession regulated.
• CRO-DF (Conselho Regional de Odontologia do Distrito Federal): The Regional Dental Council of DF — analogous public autarchy under CFO federal oversight, with the same business model of mandatory professional registration, annual fees with tributary character, and ethics tribunal for a different healthcare profession in the same jurisdiction.

Regional players

• CREFITO-1 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 1ª Região): The largest regional CREFITO covering São Paulo state. Provides the same regulatory services (registration, ethics, fiscalization) for physiotherapists and OTs but in a different, larger geography. Same profession, same parent framework, same fee structure — making it a directly comparable peer operating at greater scale.
• CREFITO-2 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 2ª Região): Serves Rio de Janeiro state. Directly comparable in mandate, regulatory function, and fee model for physiotherapy/OT professionals, with differences limited to geography and scale. Same parent (COFFITO) and same federal-law framework.
• CREFITO-4 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 4ª Região): Covers Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo. Identical regulatory mandate and business model to CREFITO 11, differing only in geography and the size of the registered-professional base. Useful as a same-profession regional peer to benchmark operational and digital platform patterns.
• CREFITO-3 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 3ª Região): Covers the southern states (Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná). Same regulatory mandate for physiotherapy/OT professionals, same COFFITO oversight, and same business model (annual fees, ethics tribunal, registration). Comparable as a regional peer at larger geographic scale.

Broad incumbents

• COFFITO (Conselho Federal de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional): The federal parent body that oversees all regional CREFITOs, sets national fee policy per Lei 12.514/2011, and issues nationwide normative resolutions. Directly comparable because it shares the same regulatory mandate (physiotherapy/OT professional oversight) but operates at the national level with broader scope and authority over CREFITO 11.
