Accreditation

Recognised programs

The CCEA is responsible for accrediting chiropractic programs throughout Australia, New Zealand and Asia. For current details of CCEA accredited chiropractic programs, please visit the accredited programs page.

The CCEA also recognises programs accredited by member organisations of the Councils on Chiropractic Education International (CCEI): 

• Canadian Federation of Chiropractic Regulatory and Educational Accrediting Boards (CFCREAB)

• Council on Chiropractic Education – Europe (ECCE)

Up to and including 31 December 2017:

• Council on Chiropractic Education – United States (CCE-US): For candidates that graduated from CCE-US programs from 1 January 2018, accreditation status of the program is not automatically recognised by the CCEA, and you must apply for skills assessment using the Form C pathway.  

To determine if your education provider offers a chiropractic program recognised by CCEA, please refer to the tables below. 

Please note that recognition of accredited status does not imply reciprocity for graduates. Program graduates who wish to practise in Australia or New Zealand should refer to the Skills Assessment.

The following education providers located in the United States of America were recognised by CCEA until 31 December 2017. CCEA only recognises accreditation through CCEI member agencies (CCEC, ECCE, CCEA, and CCE-US graduates who completed their programs prior to 31 December 2017). These education providers do not currently deliver programs recognised by CCEA.
