About
Chiropractic Australia (CA) is the peak representative body for more than 1,700 chiropractors, researchers, and students nationwide. Building upon the strong foundation of professional development and clinical research established by our predecessor, COCA, CA exists to empower our growing membership through meaningful support, impactful advocacy, and world-class education. Committed to ethical, effective and informed practice, CA is striving for greater participation and utilisation of Chiropractic within Australia's broader healthcare system.
Vision
Leading the future of chiropractic care as an integral part of Australian healthcare.
Advocacy
Chiropractic Australia works to ensure the collective voice of our professional community is effectively heard, meaningfully recognised and fairly represented as part of both the Allied Health and Mainstream Healthcare Systems. Encompassing a wide range of engagement initiatives and relationships with key stakeholders, regulators and policymakers, our current representative priorities include:
Advancing Medicare reforms to enable direct referral pathways and appropriate funding models
Integrating chiropractors (practicing at top of scope) within multidisciplinary care teams to improve health outcomes and access to Primary Care
Ensuring other policy and regulatory settings better utilise the chiropractic workforce to reduce system pressure
Regulation / Accreditation
The chiropractic profession is nationally regulated by the Chiropractic Board of Australia (CBA) for the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Chiropractors must be registered with the Chiropractic Board of Australia, and meet the Board’s registration standards, in order to practise in Australia.
