How Listings Are Sourced
ChiroHub Australia aggregates chiropractor listing data primarily from the Google Places API. This provides foundational information including business names, addresses, phone numbers, opening hours, and patient reviews. We cross-reference this data with publicly available practitioner information to ensure accuracy.
All chiropractors practising in Australia must be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). We encourage users to verify any practitioner's registration status directly on the AHPRA Register of Practitioners.
Verification and Quality Assurance
We take the following steps to maintain the accuracy and reliability of our directory:
- Automated data refresh: Listing data is periodically refreshed from the Google Places API to capture updated hours, addresses, and reviews.
- Claimed listing verification: Practitioners who claim their listing verify their identity via email, ensuring they have authority to update their practice information.
- Duplicate detection: We use address matching and name comparison to prevent duplicate listings for the same practice.
- Community feedback: Users and practitioners can report inaccuracies, which are reviewed and corrected promptly.
Update Frequency
Our directory data is updated on a regular schedule:
- Listing data (hours, address, phone): Refreshed periodically from Google Places API
- Patient reviews and ratings: Synced periodically from Google Reviews
- Claimed listings: Updated by practitioners as needed, reflected immediately
- Blog articles: Cost and Medicare articles are re-checked against MBS Online and the ChiroHub Fees Index every quarter, the rest once a year, by Ryan Kan (ChiroHub's editor, not a clinician). The check dates are kept in a register and shown on each article
Data Sources
ChiroHub Australia draws information from the following sources:
- Google Places API: Business details, location data, opening hours, and reviews
- Practitioner submissions: Claimed listings with practitioner-verified information
- AHPRA: Practitioner registration status (users are directed to verify independently)
- Public business registrations: ABN and business name verification where applicable
Accuracy Commitments
While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, ChiroHub Australia does not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any listing data. Business hours, services, and availability may change without notice. We recommend contacting the practice directly to confirm details before your visit.
Listing placement on ChiroHub is not an endorsement of any practitioner or practice. Practitioners with enhanced or premium listings receive additional visibility features but are held to the same accuracy standards.
