The Australian College of Chiropractic Paediatrics (ACCP)  was formed and is run by paediatric chiropractors to best represent and support the delivery of paediatric chiropractic care in Australia. The development of this College has been a lengthy process behind the scenes by a group of paediatric trained chiropractors as a solution to a perceived need. Our profession as a whole is under intense scrutiny – especially when it comes to the care we provide for children.
More so than ever we need strong, evidence-based responses when misinformed opinions or threats are made against the provision of appropriate chiropractic care for children.

Full Membership of the ACCP does require a minimum of 2-year post-graduate study in the field of paediatrics – a decision that the committee arrived at to ensure that the membership suitably reflected the aims of this association. While some courses have been approved by the accreditation committee and graduates are now eligible for Full Membership of the ACCP, not all courses have yet completed this process. If you are unsure if your course has been accredited, we are able to process applicants on an individual basis with supporting documents.
