🛠️🖥️ National WorkSpace Week (20-26 October 2025) is back! This year's theme, 'Work Well Every Day,' urges Australians to prioritise their workplace health and safety.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are Australia's most common workplace injury, accounting for the majority (57%) of workers' compensation claims for serious injuries, highlighting the critical need for awareness and prevention.

ACA member participation will be crucial in amplifying the campaign's message, encouraging patients and your local community to 'work well every day' and positioning you and your practice as the go-to health professionals for preventing and treating WMSDs.

Since mid-2024, the ACA has been actively participating in the Independent Review of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS). We have ensured that every stage of the review, whether in-person consultations, focus groups, or written submissions, had a chiropractic voice present.

The final report, 'Transforming Health Professions Regulation in Australia,' has been released. It recommends four major transformation directions supported by 26 practical actions, setting the stage for a simpler and smarter regulatory system that is aligned with the evolving needs of patients and practitioners alike.
