RMIT Chiropractic Students' Association

Please bear in mind that this site is constantly updated.

History:

Apparently the "CSA" has been around in one form or another since 1976. In 1975, The Chiropractic Department was called the International College of Chiropractic and was located in the City (service subjects were taught by RMIT). When the ICC had a disagreement with RMIT in 1976, we had to look for another home and found it at the brand new Preston Institute of Technology. According to St. Albans Chiropractor Dr. John Drinkwater, the "CSA" was formalised in the same year as the move. The "CSA" has changed names and faces a few times (just like the school) since those days, but the essence remains the same. For more information on the history of PIT/PIT/RMIT's Chiropractic program, take a look in "A Pictorial History of Phillip Institute" by Margaret Bryce which is readily available in the Bundoora Library (you'll get a laugh out of who's still here and how funny they looked back when they were students!).
