Chiropractic authorisation

Home > Services > Chiropractic > Chiropractic authorisation

Chiropractors have chiropractic authorisation through a five-year university trained program. They are also government regulated and government registered healthcare professionals. The Australian Government has established a chiropractic regulating authority to ensure increased public safety for the Australian population. Hence these bodies are responsible for maintaining the highest standards for all practitioners. CAA National has been working in close consultation with the Chiropractic Board of Australia (CBA). This has happened since the release of the 1st draft of the Codes and Guidelines for Chiropractors to the stakeholders. Furthermore, the CAAN Board has been meeting regularly to discuss issues relating to the National Registration as they arise. They’re committed to ensuring ongoing opportunities are in place to continue direct consultation with the CBA.

From 2006, our CEO and President’s between them, have attended in excess of 35 meetings and forums. In relation to national registration, accreditation, health workforce, health and hospitals reform, safety and quality in healthcare and Australian healthcare reform. In addition, the President, CEO, and an academic representative also attended a Senate Committee Inquiry into the national registration scheme. They presented a case for the restriction of the practice of spinal manipulation within the new legislation.
