Become a Chiropractor

Becoming a registered chiropractor in Australia involves undertaking an accredited 5-year chiropractic program conducted at a University within Australia, or have completed an accredited program overseas that satisfies the requirements set by the Australian Chiropractors Registration Boards.

Currently there are three Universities in Australia that have Chiropractic Degree programs.

For more information on entry requirements for each chiropractic course in Australia contact the individual university websites below.

RMIT University in Melbourne, Victoria has a 5-year integrated double Bachelor Degree in Clinical Science/Chiropractic Science.

Macquarie University in Sydney, New South Wales has a 3 year Bachelor of Chiropractic Science which provides the basis for entry into a 2-year Master of Chiropractic which is the qualifying degree for professional registration as a chiropractor.

Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia has a Chiropractic five-year (full-time) double degree. At the end of the five-year course, students will have fulfilled the requirements for two degrees, a Bachelor of Science (Chiropractic) degree (after completion of the first three years of study) and a Bachelor of Chiropractic degree (after completion of the final two years). Both degrees are required for clinical practice and registration.

Mike Black Asks some important questions of interest to Clovelly residents - Chiropractor Clovelly Mike Black Asks...

Do nerves actually get pinched?
Chiropractors recognise two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
If you have a fever, are you sick or healthy?
Chiropractors love asking this question because it gets to the root of the chiropractic difference. Turns out fevers, vomiting, coughing and even sneezing are all healthy responses. It means your body is working correctly. Taking medications to suppress these natural processes can actually prolong your recovery.
