Chiropractic Clinic | Murdoch University

Accessible, professional chiropractic services

Our clinic

Established in 2005, Murdoch University Chiropractic Clinic is an evidence-based teaching clinic, offering high-quality patient-centred care for your musculoskeletal health.

You’ll be treated by one of our final (fifth) year chiropractic student clinicians, under the guidance and supervision of a registered chiropractor. After your initial visit, a comprehensive management plan is tailored to your situation. Each appointment involves a discussion on your progress, an examination and individualised treatment. To ensure you are receiving care suited to your condition, appointments can take place in our treatment rooms, rehabilitation gym, a physiological therapeutics facility and a digital radiographic suite.

The Murdoch University Chiropractic Clinic enables students in our accredited Chiropractic Science course to complete the training they require to register with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency via the Chiropractic Board of Australia. By visiting the clinic, you will not only benefit from the guidance of our highly experienced teaching staff, but also support the next generation of chiropractors in the final stages of their training.

At Murdoch University, excellence in patient care and public safety are central to our Chiropractic program. Our curriculum and clinical placements emphasise safe, evidence-based and patient-centred care, ensuring our students are fully competent and uphold the highest standards upon graduation. We commit to the highest levels of training and compliance, preparing graduates who are skilled and dedicated to patient welfare and public safety.
