An innate lifestyle – Part of the chiropractic adjustment
Far from the prescription of supplements but in line with the delivery of the adjustment is the acknowledgement that Nature Cures. That in every living thing exists an Intelligence that creates and organizes the smallest particles of matter, into being and doing. It is constant, in all things. Its expression is contingent upon the understanding of what is important in the discussion of a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Grant Schofield
How can we be the best we can be?
Grant will talk about how we can be the best we can be by looking at the pillars of health through a cross-discipline lens. In other words, in this talk Grant will explore the ‘Science of Human Potential’.
Grant Schofield is Professor of Public Health at AUT, and director of the University’s Human Potential Centre. Grant’s career has focused on preventing the diseases of modern times, and seeing what it takes to help people live a long, healthy and happy life. He lives and breathes the motto “be the best you can be”, and sees this as a game-changer for the health system – capable of transforming the current deficit (sickness) model, to one in which we aspire to be well. He is redefining public health as the science of human potential; the study of what it takes to have a great life.
2.35 – 3.05pm
David Cahill
Connecting your past, present and future practice
David will be discussing how some key events in your chiropractic past can inform how you choose to manifest chiropractic right now. He will look to bring the deeply personal to the practical, giving you opportunity for a powerful insight into your potential success in practice.
David glimpsed ‘that something’ in chiropractic when he was in a Gonstead tutorial with Dr Dean Lines back in 1988, and has been on a wonderful journey of discovery ever since. He loved practicing in Northern Ireland and locuming in many parts of Australia before establishing his practice in Melbourne, where he has been settled for 24 years. He has been fortunate during that time to serve as President of the Australian Spinal Research Foundation and Convenor of the Dynamic Growth Congress, and he is currently the President of the Australian Chiropractors Association. He considers himself blessed to be a student of chiropractic.

If it is to be, it’s up to me
We are exactly where we are as a profession through the dedication and commitment of those who have gone before us. I would like to acknowledge some of the contributions of those people and look to the future. In a post covid world where can we position chiropractic? Is it on the bus, at the front of the bus… or on a different bus? I will explore the possibilities for our future.
Dr Kelly is entering his 4th decade in chiropractic, and loving it! He has practiced in Australia and NZ and has run 2 chiropractic colleges, one in the USA and the NZCC which he led for 8 years, which resulted in full government funding, accreditation, the establishment of the research department, and the move to the new campus.
