Consultation on the Statement of paediatric care

Released: 3 December 2025
Closes: 4 February 2026

The Chiropractic Board of Australia is consulting on revisions to the Statement of paediatric care.

The Board is reviewing the Statement with the aim of clarifying its expectations of chiropractors when providing care to paediatric patients. The revised Statement combines the existing Statement on paediatric care with the Interim policy on spinal manipulation for infants and young children. The revised Statement advises chiropractors not to perform spinal manipulation on children under two.

Consultation is open until 4 February 2026.
