Lyndon Amorin-Woods

I completed my chiropractic degree at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT-U) (formerly Phillip Institute of Technology (PIT) Melbourne, in 1982 and have since practised in a variety of settings from solo to group and inter-disciplinary settings. Whilst remaining constantly in private practice, since 2005 I have been a clinical supervisor, casual lecturer and placement manager at Murdoch University. My role has included supervising clinicians, campus clinic administration and coordinating clinical immersion outreach placements in rural and remote regions of Western Australia. These placements have been situated in state health department hospitals, Aboriginal Medical Services and University Departments of Rural Health (UDRH). In 2015, I completed a Master of Public Health (MPH) at the University of Western Australia by coursework and dissertation. From 2012- 2018, I was a Director and Vice-President on the state board of the Chiropractors Association of Australia (CAAWA) and I represented the CAA (now ACA) as a member of the Australian Chiropractic Research Network (ACORN) steering committee. From 2015-2017, I was a member of the CAA Tertiary Education & Research Committee. I have authored and presented scientific papers, book chapters, podium presentations and posters around the topics of chiropractic education, professional practice, evidence-based clinical decision-making for chiropractors and the role of complex research in chiropractic and manual care. I was awarded the 2016 delegates award for a podium presentation at the CAA National Conference & Scientific Symposium CAIRNS, Australia after being named 2013 Australian Chiropractor of the Year. From 2020-2024 I served on the Council on Chiropractic Education Australasia (CCEA) as the Chiropractic Board of Australia nominee, including as Deputy Chairperson. My current role is senior clinical educator in the School of Allied Health at Murdoch University.
