Chiropractors
Compare local chiropractors and book online in seconds.
Chiropractors assess and treat problems with the spine, joints and muscles, most commonly lower back pain, neck pain and headaches. People book them after an injury flares up, when desk work leaves them stiff and sore, or for ongoing management of a recurring problem. Appointments typically involve assessment, manual adjustments or mobilisation, and advice on movement and posture.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Chiropractor
- Chiropractors are AHPRA-registered health practitioners; check their registration and any conditions on the public AHPRA register before booking.
- In Australia they complete a five-year university qualification, so be wary of anyone offering adjustments without AHPRA registration.
- Look for a clear assessment process at the first visit rather than instant treatment; good practitioners examine before they adjust.
- Ask about their approach to care plans; be cautious of long lock-in contracts or pressure to prepay dozens of visits.
- Read reviews for your specific issue, such as sciatica, headaches or sports injuries, not just overall star ratings.
- Check they hold professional indemnity insurance and offer on-the-spot private health fund rebates via HICAPS.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are you registered with AHPRA, and do you have experience treating my specific condition?
- What will the first consultation involve, and will you explain your findings before treating?
- How many visits do you expect I will need, and how will we review progress?
- Do you offer on-the-spot private health rebates, and what will I pay out of pocket?
- Will you refer me to a GP or for imaging if my problem is outside your scope?

Frequently asked questions
Are chiropractors regulated in Australia?
Yes. Chiropractors are registered health practitioners regulated by the Chiropractic Board of Australia through AHPRA, the same scheme that covers doctors and physios. They must hold an approved university qualification, carry professional indemnity insurance and meet ongoing training requirements. You can check any chiropractor's registration status, and any conditions on it, free on the AHPRA public register.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No referral is needed for private appointments; you can book directly. A GP referral is only required if you want to claim Medicare rebates under a chronic disease management plan, or for DVA and some workers compensation arrangements. If you are claiming through private health extras, no referral is needed, just check chiropractic is included in your cover.
What conditions do chiropractors treat?
Most commonly low back pain, neck pain, headaches arising from the neck, and joint or muscle problems related to posture, work or sport. Evidence is strongest for chiropractic care of low back pain. A good chiropractor will assess whether your problem fits their scope and refer you to a GP or specialist when something needs medical investigation.
Is chiropractic treatment covered by Medicare or private health?
Both, in limited ways. Medicare rebates apply only through a GP chronic disease management plan, capped at five allied health visits per calendar year across all providers. Most private health extras policies rebate part of each chiropractic visit up to an annual limit. Ask the clinic what your out-of-pocket cost will be before you book.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Expect a history and physical examination before any treatment: questions about your pain, health background and goals, then movement, posture and orthopaedic tests. The chiropractor should explain what they find, outline a treatment plan with costs, and get your consent before adjusting. Initial visits usually run 30 to 60 minutes, longer than routine follow-ups.
