Following a restructure of the Association into a single entity, on 28 May 2018 the name was changed to the Australian Chiropractors Association.[4] Chiropractic has been widely discredited by mainstream academia and is regarded as pseudoscience and a form of complementary and alternative medicine.[5]
The ACA's stated mission is to provide leadership and facilitate unity and excellence within the profession. It aims to assist members in delivering patient-centred, holistic, natural, competent, and effective health care. The ACA also claims to engage with stakeholders including governments, academic institutions, media, and the public, as well as, facilitate and promote communication between members and non-members. They further state that they wish to develop and promote chiropractic practice, education, and research, as well as, set and maintain standards of care.[6]
