The Australian Chiropractic College (ACC) was established by a passionate group of industry practitioners, committed to ensuring that future generations – our children, grandchildren and beyond- have access to excellent, dedicated, chiropractic care.

The ACC offers a Diploma of Health Science which is a standalone qualification and is a prerequisite pathway into our Bachelor of Chiropractic program. The Bachelor of Chiropractic has been designed with public safety as a priority; providing a holistic, ‘job ready’ focus on chiropractic education. Our bachelor degree students will graduate well prepared – and appropriately skilled – for long term careers dedicated to chiropractic.

We’re about people, not numbers – small class sizes offer greater engagement and more opportunities for hands-on learning. 

ACC’s bachelor degree program has a strong focus on industry experience, plus teaches you all the skills you need to run your own practice and enjoy an impactful, flexible and independent career. 

While students who choose to finish after the diploma year, may enter other health related career areas or, take their diploma qualification on to further study in a related field.

Our chiropractic program is championed by committed and visionary chiropractors. At ACC, you are part of our dynamic tribe from day one and get to build lasting professional relationships.

Academic Credit and Recognition of Prior Learning

Academic Credit
This is the award of credit for previous formal studies which are considered equivalent in the academic level of content, the hours of study required and the learning outcomes’ to those according to a particular subject or unit in the ACC degree program or pre-requisites. Without having to enrol in that ACC unit, the student will be awarded the credit points associated with that unit towards completion of their Chiropractic degree program.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
This is defined in the Australian Qualifications Framework, as an assessment process that involves the assessment of an individual’s relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for academic credit.

Students who seek recognition for their previously acquired skill, knowledge or experience must provide evidence of meeting key learning outcomes of units of study for which recognition is sought.
