Chiropractors in Australia are nationally registered and regulated healthcare professionals with 5 years of university education.

Chiropractic is a simple modality of treatment concerned with the diagnosis, management and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system; this includes the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and joint motion

In summary, chiropractors focus on the detection and correction of restricted spinal function and its subsequent effect on how the nervous system controls and coordinates the body.

Australian chiropractors are highly qualified healthcare professionals who study at university for a minimum of five years. On graduating from university Chiropractors are then registered with the Chiropractic Board of Australia (CBA) which is under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Chiropractors provide patient-centred care and use shared decision making through good communication strategies which are tailored to the needs and preferences of the patient. They are educated to modify spinal manual therapy to suit the age and presenting condition of a patient (from babies to the aged).
