A‑kassa for physiotherapists
As a physiotherapist, your mission is to help people live healthier, more mobile lives. But the job market can shift quickly — even in your profession. By joining Akademikernas a-kassa, you gain financial protection if you find yourself out of work, whether you’re employed, working as a consultant, or running your own business. A membership ensures you have a stable safety net so you can focus on your career with confidence.
A‑kassa – your most important financial safety net
A‑kassa gives you crucial income protection if you become unemployed. Whether it’s rent, groceries or your mobile bill, your everyday costs don’t stop just because your job does. With us, you get fast service, help with your application, and dependable payments when you need them most.
In Sweden, a‑kassa is voluntary. You must actively apply for membership, as it is not automatically included like health insurance or parental benefits. Joining an a‑kassa is therefore one of the smartest steps you can take to secure your income.
Complete your protection with a union membership
By joining Akademikernas a‑kassa, recommended for members of Fysioterapeuterna, you gain essential financial protection if you lose your job. After 12 months of membership, and if you meet the requirements, you can receive up to 80% of your previous income. Whether you work in public healthcare, private practice, rehabilitation, or run your own clinic, a‑kassa gives you a stable safety net so you can focus on your profession with confidence.
