The Australian Chiropractors Association (ACA), founded in 1990 as the Chiropractors' Association of Australia (CAA),[2] is the largest association of chiropractors and chiropractic students in Australia.[3]

Following a restructure of the Association into a single entity, on 28 May 2018 the name was changed to the Australian Chiropractors Association.[4] Chiropractic has been widely discredited by mainstream academia and is regarded as pseudoscience and a form of complementary and alternative medicine.[5]
