Chiropractors in Australia are Nationally Registered and Regulated Healthcare Professionals.
Here is why this is important and what it means:
Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA): Like many other health professions in Australia (e.g., doctors, nurses, physiotherapists), chiropractors are regulated by AHPRA. AHPRA works in conjunction with the Chiropractic Board of Australia to ensure that chiropractors meet national standards for education, training, competence, and ethical conduct.
National Law: The regulation is governed by the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, which applies across all states and territories. This ensures a consistent standard of practice and consumer protection nationwide.
Registration: All chiropractors must be registered with the Chiropractic Board of Australia and listed on the National Register of Practitioners, managed by AHPRA. You can even search this register to verify a chiropractor’s registration status.
Education and Training: To be eligible for registration, chiropractors must complete a rigorous university-level education (typically five years) that includes both undergraduate and/or master’s level training.
Codes of Conduct and Guidelines: Registered chiropractors must adhere to professional codes of conduct, guidelines, and standards set by the Chiropractic Board of Australia. These cover areas like advertising, patient consent, professional boundaries, and continuing professional development.
