This Week In Wellness COAG (the Council of Australian Governments) has announced that Victoria will commission an independent review of the practice of spinal manipulation on children under 12 years.

These findings will be reported to the COAG Health Council, including the need for changes to the National Law. It is stated that ministers will consider the outcomes of the independent review and determine any further changes needed to protect the public.
