Australia offers excellent opportunities for internationally qualified chiropractors, with strong demand across metropolitan and regional areas. If you're a chiropractor from the USA, UK, South Africa, or New Zealand, your skills are highly valued in Australia's growing healthcare sector. Chiropractor (ANZSCO 252111) remains on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), opening pathways to permanent residency through skilled migration and employer sponsorship. This guide covers everything you need to know about the CCEA skills assessment, AHPRA registration, and your visa options.
Watch our video explainer:
Industry Snapshot: Australia's chiropractic industry is worth approximately $1.7 billion, with over 6,500 registered chiropractors across the country. The profession continues to grow as Australians increasingly seek drug-free pain management and preventive healthcare solutions.
Why Chiropractors Are in Demand in Australia
Australia faces ongoing demand for chiropractors, driven by an ageing population, increasing awareness of musculoskeletal health, and a preference for non-invasive treatment options. Regional Australia, in particular, experiences significant shortages.
| Demand Driver | Impact |
|---|---|
| Ageing Population | Increased demand for musculoskeletal care; chronic pain management services growing |
| Regional Shortages | Many regional towns lack chiropractic services entirely-high earning potential in underserved areas |
| Private Health Insurance | Over 55% of Australians hold private health cover; chiropractic is a commonly claimed benefit |
| Medicare Access | Chiropractors can provide services under Medicare's Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plans |
| Sports & Wellness Focus | Growing demand for sports chiropractic and corporate wellness programs |
Chiropractor (ANZSCO 252111) is on Australia's Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), making you eligible for Skilled Independent (189), Skilled Nominated (190), and Skilled Work Regional (491) visas, plus employer sponsorship pathways.
Understanding the Dual Process: Skills Assessment vs Registration
Before practising as a chiropractor in Australia, you must complete two separate processes:
- CCEA Skills Assessment - Required for skilled migration visa applications
- AHPRA Registration - Required to legally practise as a chiropractor in Australia
These processes are independent. Success in one does not guarantee success in the other, though they share common requirements.
| Process | Purpose | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| CCEA Skills Assessment | Visa application eligibility | Council on Chiropractic Education Australasia |
| AHPRA Registration | Legal authority to practise | Chiropractic Board of Australia (via AHPRA) |
CCEA Skills Assessment: Your First Step
The Council on Chiropractic Education Australasia (CCEA) is the designated assessing authority for chiropractors seeking skilled migration to Australia. Without a positive CCEA assessment, no skilled visa application can proceed.
Stage 1: Desktop Audit
The Desktop Audit is completed from your home country and assesses your qualifications and eligibility for further assessment.
Key Requirements:
- Completed chiropractic qualification
- Academic transcripts
- Letter of good standing from your registration authority
- Evidence of identity
- Resume detailing your chiropractic experience
Processing Time: Up to 6 weeks from receipt of all documents
Which Form Do You Need?
| Your Situation | Form | Assessment Pathway |
|---|---|---|
| Currently registered in Australia/NZ without conditions | Form A | May be exempt from Stage 2 |
| Qualification from CCEA-recognised accredited program (USA, UK, etc.) | Form B | Exempt from Part 1 of Stage 2 |
| Qualification NOT recognised by CCEA | Form C | Full Stage 2 required |
| Previously assessed, need updated certificate | Form D | Streamlined reassessment |
| Directed by Chiropractic Board to complete assessment | Form E | As directed by Board |
Recognised Programs: CCEA recognises qualifications from accredited programs through CCEI member agencies, including programs accredited by CCE-US (for graduates prior to 31 December 2017), CCEC (Canada), and ECCE (Europe). Verify your program's recognition status on the CCEA website before applying.
Stage 2: Competency Based Assessment
The Stage 2 assessment determines your ability to practise safely and competently against Australian and New Zealand entry-level chiropractic standards. This assessment takes place in-person in Australia or New Zealand over four consecutive days.
Three Parts:
| Part | Component | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Part 1 | Written Basic Competency | Written examination |
| Part 2 | Written Clinical Competency | Written examination |
| Part 3 | Practical Clinical Competency | OSCE-style practical assessment |
New Requirement from June 2026: Mandatory Cultural Safety Training (CST) will be introduced from the Auckland Stage 2 assessment in June 2026. Candidates undertaking assessments before this date are not required to complete CST.
2026 Assessment Schedule:
| Date | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 9-13 February 2026 | Sydney, NSW (Macquarie University) | Standard assessment |
| June 2026 | Auckland, NZ (NZ College of Chiropractic) | First session with mandatory CST |
| Late 2026 (TBC) | Perth, WA (Murdoch University) | Dates to be confirmed |
Check the CCEA events page for confirmed dates and registration deadlines.
CCEA Assessment Fees
Fees are effective from 1 July 2025. CCEA will adjust fees from 1 July 2026 aligned with the Consumer Price Index.
Stage 1: Desktop Audit Fees
| Form | Fee (AUD) | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
| Form A | $884 | Australian/NZ qualified or registered |
| Form B | $1,009 | CCEA-recognised overseas qualification |
| Form C | $1,446 | Non-recognised qualification (includes individualised assessment) |
| Form D | $499 | Updated assessment for previous certificate holders |
| Form E | $2,226 - $3,557 | Board-directed assessment (practical only or full) |
Stage 2: Competency Based Assessment Fees
| Component | Fee (AUD) |
|---|---|
| Part 1: Written Basic Competency | $447 |
| Part 2: Written Clinical Competency | $1,331 |
| Part 3: Practical Clinical Competency | $2,226 |
| Cultural Safety Training (from June 2026) | $370 |
Total Cost Examples:
- Form B applicant (exempt from Part 1): $1,009 + $1,331 + $2,226 = $4,566
- Form C applicant (full assessment): $1,446 + $447 + $1,331 + $2,226 = $5,450
- Add CST from June 2026: +$370
Budget Carefully: If you fail any component of Stage 2, you will need to pay additional fees to re-sit that component. Partial refunds apply for early withdrawal; otherwise fees may be forfeited. Factor contingency into your migration budget.
Exemptions from Stage 2
You may be exempt from all or part of Stage 2 if you:
- Hold current registration without conditions in Australia or New Zealand
- Hold a recent qualification from a CCEA-recognised accredited program (typically within 2 years)
- Graduated from a CCEA-recognised overseas program (exempt from Part 1 only)
AHPRA Registration: Your Licence to Practise
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) manages registration for chiropractors through the Chiropractic Board of Australia. You cannot practise as a chiropractor in Australia without AHPRA registration.
Registration Pathways for International Chiropractors
| Pathway | Who It's For | Key Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Registration | Graduates of approved Australian/NZ programs | Completed approved program |
| Competency Assessment | Overseas-qualified chiropractors | CCEA Stage 2 completion |
| Limited Registration | Practitioners in supervised or specific settings | Sponsoring employer/supervisor required |
Registration Types
| Type | Description | Practice Scope |
|---|---|---|
| General Registration | Full, unrestricted registration | Full scope of chiropractic practice |
| Limited Registration | Temporary or conditional registration | Restricted scope; may require supervision |
| Non-Practising Registration | Maintain registration without practising | Cannot practise |
English Language Requirements
The Chiropractic Board of Australia requires evidence of English language proficiency:
| Test | Required Score |
|---|---|
| IELTS Academic | Overall 7.0 with minimum 6.5 in each band |
| OET | Minimum B in each component |
| PTE Academic | Overall 65 with minimum 58 in each communicative skill |
| TOEFL iBT | Total 94 with minimum: Listening 24, Reading 24, Writing 27, Speaking 23 |
Exemptions: You may be exempt from English testing if you completed your chiropractic qualification in English in a recognised country (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, UK, USA).
Read our complete guide on IELTS vs OET vs PTE to choose the right test.
Recency of Practice Requirements
AHPRA requires practitioners to demonstrate recent clinical engagement:
| Requirement | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Option 1 | 150 hours of practice in the previous 12 months |
| Option 2 | 450 hours of practice in the previous 3 years |
| Maximum Gap | No absences from practice exceeding 2 years |
"Practice" is defined broadly to include clinical work, administration, teaching, and research-not strictly hands-on patient care.
Migration Trap: If you quit your job to move to Australia and face visa delays of 12-18 months, you may fall afoul of recency requirements. Maintain some form of casual or locum practice in your home country until your visa is granted and travel is imminent.
Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII)
Mandatory before commencing practice. The Chiropractic Board requires "adequate and appropriate" cover:
| Coverage Type | Recommended Level |
|---|---|
| Professional Indemnity | $5-10 million per claim |
| Public Liability | $5-10 million (often bundled) |
| Typical Annual Premium | $1,440-2,640 ($120-220/month) |
Providers: Guild Insurance (covers ~70% of Australian chiropractors), BizCover, and other AHPRA-approved insurers. Australian Chiropractors Association (ACA) members may receive discounted rates.
AHPRA Registration Fees
| Fee Type | Amount (AUD) |
|---|---|
| Application for Registration | ~$550-650 |
| Annual Registration Renewal | ~$750-850 |
The registration year runs 1 December to 30 November. Verify current fees on the Chiropractic Board of Australia website.
Visa Pathways for Chiropractors
With a positive CCEA skills assessment, multiple visa pathways become available. Use our GSM Points Calculator to estimate your points.
Points-Tested Skilled Visas
| Visa | Points Required | State/Employer Needed | PR Pathway |
|---|---|---|---|
| 189 Skilled Independent | 85-95+ points | No | Direct PR (highly competitive) |
| 190 Skilled Nominated | 65+ points (60 + 5 state points) | State nomination | Direct PR |
| 491 Skilled Work Regional | 65+ points (includes 15 regional points) | State/regional nomination | 191 PR after 3 years |
Not sure which visa suits you? Read our guide on 189 vs 190 vs 491: Which Skilled Visa is Right for You?.
Visa Application Fees (2025-26): $4,910 AUD for the primary applicant; $2,455 per additional adult; $1,230 per dependent child (current as of July 2025).
The Fastest Pathway: Employer Sponsorship
If you want to arrive in Australia quickly, employer sponsorship is typically the fastest route. The 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa (or its replacement, the Skills in Demand visa) processes significantly faster than points-tested pathways.
| Visa | Processing Time | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 482/Skills in Demand | 2-4 months | Fastest entry; employer often covers costs |
| 189 (Skilled Independent) | 8-18 months | No sponsorship required; highly competitive |
| 190 (State Nominated) | 6-18 months | +5 points; commitment to state |
| 491 (Regional Provisional) | 12-15 months | +15 points; 3-year regional commitment |
Read our complete Skills in Demand Visa 2026 guide for details on employer sponsorship.
Dual Strategy: You can pursue employer sponsorship simultaneously with points-based applications. Many regional chiropractic clinics actively sponsor overseas-trained practitioners due to local shortages.
State Nomination Strategies for Chiropractors
Each state sets its own criteria for 190 and 491 nominations. Understanding these nuances is critical for success.
Understanding "Regional" for Migration Purposes
As of 2026, "Regional" for migration purposes is defined as anywhere in Australia EXCEPT Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. This means Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra, Hobart, and the Sunshine Coast are ALL classified as regional-making the 491 visa highly attractive.
Western Australia (WA): The "Perth Loophole"
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Key Insight | The entire state of WA, including Perth, is designated as "Regional" for migration purposes |
| Benefit | You can obtain a 491 visa (+15 points) while living in a major capital city |
| Healthcare Priority | Health professionals are prioritised under the Graduate and General Streams |
| Contract Requirement (190) | Requires a full-time employment contract (minimum 6 months) in WA |
| Contract Requirement (491) | Often waived or significantly looser under Schedule 1 (Health) |
| Verdict | Premier target for offshore chiropractors without a job offer-best combination of lifestyle and visa accessibility |
Victoria (VIC): Registration of Interest System
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Process | Submit EOI (Home Affairs) → Submit ROI (Victoria) → Wait for Invitation |
| Health Priority | Healthcare occupations receive priority processing |
| Regional Advantage | Indicating willingness to work in regional Victoria significantly increases nomination chances |
Check our Victoria 491 Regional Visa guide for regional strategies.
South Australia (SA): The Regional Fortress
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Key Insight | The entire state of SA is classified as regional |
| Selection Method | SA selects from SkillSelect based on occupation need and applicant merit |
| Nomination Processing | Typically 2-8 weeks-among the fastest in Australia |
| Healthcare Focus | High demand in areas like Mount Gambier and Port Lincoln |
| Offshore Stream | Highly selective; often requires 3-5+ years experience and superior English |
| 491 Focus | SA often uses 491 as the primary tool for offshore health applicants |
Queensland (QLD): The Onshore Preference
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| 190 Program | Generally restricted to applicants already working in Queensland |
| Offshore Stream (491) | Opens periodically but has very high requirements (e.g., 5 years experience) |
| Regional Demand | Inland Queensland and regional areas face chronic shortages |
| Strategy | Difficult to rely on QLD for offshore migration; better as secondary target |

For detailed cost breakdowns, see our Cost of Living in Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane 2026 guide.
Country-Specific Guidance
For USA Chiropractors (CCE-US Graduates)
Critical for US Graduates: CCEA ceased automatic recognition of CCE-US accredited programs from 1 January 2018. If you graduated after 31 December 2017, you are classified as a Form C applicant and must complete the full Stage 2 assessment (all three parts). This applies regardless of your NBCE scores or state licensure.
Pre-2018 Graduates (Form B Pathway):
- Programs completed on or before 31 December 2017 from CCE-US accredited institutions (Palmer, Life, Logan, Parker, etc.) are recognised
- Exempt from Part 1 (Written Basic Competency)
- Must complete Parts 2 and 3
Post-2018 Graduates (Form C Pathway):
- Must submit detailed course syllabi, clinical internship logs, and curriculum mapping to CCEA competency standards
- Must complete all three parts of Stage 2 assessment
- NBCE transcripts are required as supporting evidence but do not grant exemptions
- Budget 3-4 months for basic science revision-Part 1 tests foundational knowledge that may have atrophied
Additional Considerations:
- Scope Differences: Australian scope of practice is similar to most US states; diagnostic imaging privileges vary by state
- Terminology: Use "Chiropractor" (not "Doctor of Chiropractic" as a professional title in clinical settings)
- Entry Option: US citizens under 31 (sometimes extended to 35) may access the Work and Holiday Visa (Subclass 462) to enter Australia, work as a locum, and sit exams onshore
For UK Chiropractors (GCC Registered)
Recognised UK Programs (Form B Pathway):
- AECC University College (formerly Anglo-European College of Chiropractic), now Health Sciences University
- Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (WIOC), University of South Wales
- McTimoney College of Chiropractic
Key Advantages:
- UK training is very similar to Australian training-transition is typically smoother
- Current GCC registration demonstrates professional standing
- Exempt from Part 1; focus preparation on Parts 2 and 3
- NHS or multidisciplinary experience is valued in Australian healthcare settings
Visa Option: UK citizens under 35 can access the Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417), which from 2024/25 has relaxed rules. This is an excellent "try before you buy" mechanism.
Documentation: UK chiropractors with IRMER certification (radiation safety) should document this; X-ray privileges in Australia vary by state.
For South African Chiropractors
Recognised SA Programs (Form B Pathway):
- Durban University of Technology (DUT)
- University of Johannesburg (UJ)
Key Considerations:
- DUT and UJ degrees are recognised by CCEA-you qualify for Form B (exempt from Part 1)
- Obtain comprehensive documentation from your university and the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA)
- Request a Certificate of Good Standing sent directly to CCEA
English Language Nuance: South Africa is listed as a recognised English-speaking country for AHPRA registration purposes. However, if your high school education was conducted in Afrikaans-medium, AHPRA may require IELTS/OET evidence. Ensure you have documentation confirming English-medium secondary education if claiming the exemption.
Visa Pathway: South Africans generally do not have access to working holiday visas. The skilled migration (189/190/491) pathway is the primary route.
Community: Large South African expat communities in Perth (WA) and Brisbane (QLD) can assist with networking and job placement.
For New Zealand Chiropractors
Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act (TTMRA):
- Current NZ registration without conditions typically exempts you from CCEA Stage 2
- TTMRA allows registered NZ chiropractors to apply for AHPRA registration without repeating competency assessments
- Complete Form A for skills assessment; process is typically straightforward
Important Distinction: TTMRA solves registration, not migration. NZ citizens don't need a visa to live in Australia, but non-NZ citizens registered in NZ still need a CCEA skills assessment for visa points purposes. The TTMRA pathway is most useful for:
- NZ citizens (who don't need a visa)
- Applicants obtaining employer sponsorship (where registration is the key hurdle)
- Those who obtained NZ PR/citizenship first, then move to Australia
University Bridging Programs
If your qualification is not recognised or you fail CCEA assessments, Australian universities offer pathways:
| University | Program | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Macquarie University | Master of Chiropractic | 2-3 years | Full qualification program |
| Murdoch University | Bachelor of Chiropractic Science + Master | 5 years | Undergraduate entry |
| RMIT University | Bachelor of Health Science/Applied Science (Chiropractic) + Master | 5 years | Melbourne-based |
| CQUniversity | Bachelor of Chiropractic | 5 years | Regional Queensland |
Graduate Visa Pathway: Completing an Australian chiropractic qualification may make you eligible for the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) Post-Study Work stream, providing additional time to gain Australian experience before applying for permanent residency.
Realistic Timeline: From Application to Practice
| Stage | Timeframe |
|---|---|
| English test preparation and booking | 1-2 months |
| CCEA Stage 1 (Desktop Audit) | 6-8 weeks |
| Wait for Stage 2 assessment date | 1-4 months (depending on schedule) |
| CCEA Stage 2 (Competency Assessment) | 4 days (in-person) |
| CCEA Results | 4-6 weeks after assessment |
| EOI Submission & State Nomination | 1-6 months |
| Visa Lodgement & Processing | 3-12 months |
| AHPRA Registration Application | 4-8 weeks |
| Total to PR + Practice (190) | 12-24 months |
| Total to PR + Practice (491→191) | 4-5 years |
Total Investment Summary
| Cost Component | Amount (AUD) |
|---|---|
| CCEA Stage 1 (Form B/C) | $1,009 - $1,446 |
| CCEA Stage 2 (if full assessment) | $447 + $1,331 + $2,226 = $4,004 |

| Migration Agent Fees | Variable |
| Travel to Australia/NZ for Stage 2 | $1,500-3,000 |
| Estimated Total (Form B, single applicant) | $12,000-16,000 |
| Estimated Total (Form C, single applicant) | $14,000-20,000 |
Your 6-Step Roadmap
-
Verify Program Recognition: Check if your chiropractic qualification is recognised by CCEA on their recognised programs page. This determines your assessment pathway.
-
English Test: If required, book IELTS Academic, OET, or PTE Academic. Aim for scores that maximise both CCEA and AHPRA requirements.
-
CCEA Stage 1: Submit your Desktop Audit application with all supporting documents. Allow 6-8 weeks for processing.
-
CCEA Stage 2: Register for the next available Competency Based Assessment in Australia or New Zealand. Prepare thoroughly-it's a challenging 4-day examination.
-
Visa Application: With a positive CCEA assessment, lodge your EOI for 190/491 visas and/or pursue employer sponsorship opportunities.
-
AHPRA Registration: Upon receiving your visa, apply for AHPRA registration to legally practise. Obtain professional indemnity insurance before commencing practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work as a chiropractor in Australia on a tourist visa?
No. You cannot practise as a chiropractor without AHPRA registration, and you cannot apply for registration without an appropriate work visa. Tourist visas (subclass 600) do not permit employment.
How long is the CCEA skills assessment valid?
CCEA certificates are typically valid for 3 years. If your visa application is delayed beyond this period, you may need to apply for an updated assessment using Form D.
Do I need to complete CCEA assessment before AHPRA registration?
For visa purposes, yes-CCEA assessment is required for skilled migration visas. For AHPRA registration, the Chiropractic Board may direct you to complete CCEA Stage 2 as part of its competency assessment requirements. The processes are linked but separate.
Can I practise under supervision while waiting for full registration?
Potentially. Limited registration may be available for practitioners working under supervision in specific settings. Discuss options with a potential employer and AHPRA.
What insurance do I need to practise?
Professional indemnity insurance is mandatory for all registered chiropractors in Australia. Typical coverage is $10-20 million. Providers include Guild Insurance, MIPS, and Avant.
Are chiropractors eligible for Medicare billing?
Yes, but access is limited. Chiropractors cannot bill Medicare for standard consultations. Eligibility is through the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) program only:
- Trigger: GP referral under a Team Care Arrangement (TCA) and GP Management Plan (GPMP) for patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions (6+ months duration)
- Item Number: 10964
- Rebate: Approximately $61.80 per appointment (as of January 2026)
- Cap: Maximum 5 allied health visits per calendar year per patient (shared with other allied health professionals)
- Billing Options: Bulk bill (accept rebate as full payment) or charge a gap (patient pays the difference)
CDM typically represents 10-20% of a clinic's revenue. The majority of income comes from private billing and health fund rebates (via HICAPS). There is no 10-year moratorium for overseas-trained chiropractors (unlike doctors under Section 19AB)-you are eligible for a Medicare Provider Number immediately upon AHPRA registration.
