WHAT
IS COCA AND WHAT DO THEY DO?
COCA is an acronym for Chiropractic &
Osteopathic College of Australasia and
we were founded in 1959. The College is
not a political organisation and not affiliated
with any professional political arm within
the health professions.
COCA is an organisation providing quality
continuing education to chiropractors,
osteopaths and other allied related health
professionals. COCA exists to provide
health professionals with necessary ongoing
and contemporary skills to practice competently,
thereby improving the public health of
the community.
COCA provides a forum to foster research
and promote knowledge of disorders of
the musculo-skeletal system and related
aspects of health care. COCA actively
participates in activities related to
public health. [Note: It is these COCA
mission endeavours that served as the
catalyst to endorse the Spinal Articulation
System].
HOW
DOES A PRODUCT QUALIFY FOR THE ENDORSEMENT?
COCA applies the following criteria and requirements
of any product or service, before endorsement
proceeds:
- Is the product or service in the public
interest, or of benefit to the community
- Is the product or service of significance
to the health of consumers
- Is the company seeking COCA
endorsement in good standing in the conduct
of their affairs
Only after the above initial criteria are
met, does product or service endorsement evaluation
proceeds.
