About

The AKA supports the national advancement of kinesiology professionals as valued and respected health care service providers within the complementary health industry.

The Australian Kinesiology Association aims to increase public awareness of how kinesiology can assist people to lead healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives while ensuring that best practice principles are maintained.

The AKA sets the benchmark for practitioner standards. We are acknowledged by government bodies in setting industry standards and qualifications. This not only protects you as a kinesiologist, knowing that you have studied with AKA accredited registered training organisations (RTOs), and/or course authors, but it also builds confidence with the public accessing your services, knowing that you are registered with an industry body who matches practitioner standards, qualifications and requirements with national training standards. A formally constituted organisation, the AKA provides rules, regulations and guidelines for all kinesiologists.

AKA Inc. members adhere to standards according to a strict code of ethics. The Australian Kinesiology Association website includes a directory of kinesiologists so that you may check whether a practitioner is registered.

We are a non-profit organisation that provides information about the profession to our members, the public, the government and other stakeholders.

Kinesiology is a complementary therapy that encompasses holistic health disciplines. Through the art of gentle muscle monitoring, kinesiologists communicate with the body’s innate intelligence to identify and clear underlying stresses to facilitate and promote health and well-being.
