1. Are chiropractors registered health practitioners?

FAQs

All chiropractors are registered health practitioners. In Australia, they are legally required to register with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) which is the same Government body that registers doctors, surgeons etc.. Other government bodies such as Workcover, Transport Accident, Veterans Affairs and Medicare all recognise the benefits of Chiropractic by paying costs of treatment for people who are eligible under these schemes.
