Course overview

Chiropractic is an allied health profession focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and their effects on body function and overall health. Practitioners have a deep understanding of the relationship between body structure and function, and take a holistic approach to care. Using a range of non-invasive treatments, including manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, patient education, lifestyle advice and self-management strategies, they help people of all ages live full, active and healthy lives. The Bachelor of Chiropractic Science – the longest-running degree of its kind in Australia – will provide you with a strong foundation in health sciences, including human anatomy and physiology, that can be applied to a diverse range of health careers. Importantly, the degree offers a direct pathway into the Master of Chiropractic, which will prepare you to work as a registered chiropractor in private practice, sports medicine, rehabilitation or allied health, or in areas such as health insurance, consulting, work health and safety, or research.
