Home About the CAAThe Australasian College of Chiropractors ACC Membership

ACC Membership

The ACC has been fostered by the CAA to raise the standards of care by all chiropractors. In an effort to cater for all chiropractors in our region, the CAA recognises every chiropractor currently undertaking Continuing Professional Development - regardless of whether or not they are a member of the CAA - with an Associate membership, as long as they are active in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) approved by the CAA.

The category of Associate Member is the broadest category of ACC membership, and is an automatic membership for those who enroll with the CAA's CPD scheme. An Associate Member of the ACC is expected to attain a specific number of CPD points during the nominated period - currently 24 CPD points during a nominated two year period. The Associate Member is able to attain such points through participation in activities approved by the CAA.

The membership structure of the ACC has been approved to encourage Associate Members to aspire to the additional categories of Membership or Fellowship. The categories of activity that shall be regonised for Membership and Fellowship within the ACC are:

1. Professional Activity

2. Research

3. Teaching

4. Clinical Practice
