Option 1: Wear Your Advocacy (Merchandise Purchases) When you refresh your clinic polos, jackets, or student uniforms through this store, you are actively funding science. 25% of all net proceeds are pooled and distributed directly to independent researchers at leading Australian universities. Note: Because you receive high-quality physical garments in exchange, these purchases are retail transactions and are not tax-deductible.
Option 2: Direct Research Contributions (Fully Tax-Deductible) If you do not need new apparel but want 100% of your financial gift to go directly to work on the lab floor, you can make a clean financial donation. Direct donations to the Chiropractic Australia Research Foundation are fully tax-deductible for Australian taxpayers.
Different Ways To Donate To Spinal and Muscle Research
CARF is a fully transparent, volunteer-run research foundation operated under the strict governance of Chiropractic Australia. We operate with zero administrative bloat, meaning your contributions are strictly funneled into competitive research grants, systematic reviews, and knowledge translation programmes.
We believe fundraising should bring communities together while making a difference. Here’s how you can get involved with CARF throughout the year:
Once a year, chiropractors across Australia unite for a week of giving. During this time, participating chiropractic clinics donate $2 from every patient visit directly to spinal and musculoskeletal research. It’s a simple way to turn everyday care into future breakthroughs.
Your empties can change lives! By donating your 10¢ Cash for Cans refund to CARF, you’re helping fund the research that improves chiropractic care. A small gesture, but a big impact!
Enjoy a nice meal, go to the movies, or have some fun with the family. Whatever you choose, you can now save money and help raise funds for Chiropractic Australia Research Foundation, with 20% of each book purchase going towards our research. The book now comes as an APP to make having fun easy.
Membership matters. Did you know that part of your Chiropractic Australia membership fees go directly to CARF? By joining, you’re not just supporting your profession—you’re actively contributing to the future of chiropractic research.
