Abstract/Notes

Abstract: The purpose of this pragmatic historical narrative is to report events leading to the establishment of the first program of education by chiropractors for chiropractors in Australasia. The mainstream chiropractors in Australia formed an independent education body incorporated on 6 March 1975 as the International College of Chiropractic (ICC). The anchor years are the early 1970s to 1975 during which the ICC went from an idea to a reality in a very short time. It then transitioned from a private, stand-alone fee-for-education institution to be within a state tertiary education system which resulted in government funding for student places. The evidence strongly supports my contention that
the ICC marked the commencement of chiropractic education in Australia.
