The ACA HR Service is a dedicated human resources (HR) and industrial relations (IR) information service allowing members to access the accumulated knowledge of a professional, expert team.
It is designed to help you improve your staff management and productivity, facilitate teamwork and reduce the risk associated with understanding employment-related legislation.
Accessing the ACA HR Portal
Due to current concerns across Australia around data security, the ACA HR Service has transitioned to a brand new online HR Portal. This is to ensure that the ACA HR Service continues to provide high quality services and that ACA members can continue to seamlessly and securely access our suite of HR resources.
In light of this transition, only registered users are able to access the online resources portal. Any ACA member who wishes to register their access to the online HR resources will need to contact ACA via aca@chiropractors.org.au
