Abstract/Notes Unregistered practitioners continue to plague both the medical establishment and the bureaucracy by demands to set practice standards and limit the territory of complementary, alternative and fringe practitioners. Historically, attempts to control unregistered health practitioners in several ways, including under medical ants, have produced mixed results. The nationwide legislative emancipation of chiropractors in Australia from medico-legal dominance (1945-1985) challenges medical mores in community thinking and provides a model by which other health disciplines within a pool of unregistered practitioners might seek to separate themselves from the shackles of medicine, generally perceived to be at the centre of all healing. It also challenges the chiropractic profession to project more effectively its unique place in the healing professions. In continuing to address this issue for a long-term solution in the public interest, some state governments would like to see a uniform, generic approach of umbrella legislation, bringing all currently unregistered practitioners under one act, as recommended in New South Wales and favoured by Queensland. A model of omnibus legislation for 15 registered health professions, later extending to unregistered practitioners, is under review in Queensland. On the other hand, Victoria is developing legislation to register practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This paper focuses on some of the problems involved and identifies new legislative proposals to deal with an old issue.
