What qualification do I need to become a kinesiologist?

There are many practitioners who claim to be kinesiologists, however only AKA Registered Practitioners are highly qualified to government standards. We strongly recommend you do not practice until you meet AKA Level 4, minimum standards. Current minimum standards to become an AKA Registered Level 4 Kinesiology Intermediate Practitioner are outlined here.

How long does it take to become a kinesiologist?

It usually takes 12 months to qualify for AKA Registered Level 4 Kinesiology Intermediate Practitioner membership.

Working in kinesiology

Where do kinesiologists typically work?

Generally, kinesiologists work out of small clinics as sole traders or within multi-modality clinic settings. However some kinesiologists work in areas such as hospitals and aged care.

In the spirit of reconciliation the Australian Kinesiology Association Inc. acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

We also acknowledge all our teachers and leaders of kinesiology that have come before us as we honour the traditional roots of kinesiology together.
