Protect your spine and Work Well Every Day! October is a time to commit to building safe and healthy workspaces for all Australians and to raise awareness of the physical and mental impact musculoskeletal injuries have on Australian workers, which costs the economy over $55 billion annually.

Everyone deserves to work in a safe and healthy environment - whether you’re on-site, on the road, at a desk, working from home, or on your feet, it’s essential to take steps to prevent work-related injuries which can create musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs).

To align with Safe Work Month's ‘Reviewing Workplace Controls’ focus week, the Chiropractors Association’s annual WorkSpace Week (20-26 October) is inviting Australians to join the WorkSpace Week movement and highlight WMSD prevention and early intervention to improve the spinal health and well-being of all Australian workers.

Adjust your thinking to work well EVERY day! Visit workspaceweek.org.au for hints, tips and free resources, or to consult a chiro, because prevention IS the best protection.

World Spine Day, held on 16th of October each year, is a key opportunity to promote spinal health, prevention, and access to quality care.
As the largest global initiative dedicated to spinal health, it highlights the impact of spinal pain and disability while encouraging proactive steps for lifelong health.
Launched in 2008, World Spine Day is organised by the World Federation of Chiropractic, of which the ACA is the Australian member.
Today, more than 600 organisations worldwide support the initiative annually.
Through this campaign, people are encouraged to care for their spines and stay active by maintaining good posture, engaging in regular physical activity, practicing safe lifting techniques, and supporting healthy working conditions.
