Join the NBCA
Why do people choose New Brunswick? One answer resounds time and time again: quality of life.
New Brunswickers choose access to trails, rivers, lakes, and oceans over skyscrapers and freeways. We choose connection, community, and balance over long commutes and intense competition. It's a place where healthcare professionals can build rewarding careers while enjoying an exceptional lifestyle.
All chiropractors practising in New Brunswick must be members of the New Brunswick Chiropractors Association (NBCA), which serves as both the regulatory college and professional association.

Membership Dues
Why Are NBCA Dues Higher Than in Provinces Such as Ontario?
At first glance, NBCA dues may appear higher than those in some other Canadian provinces. However, in provinces such as Ontario, chiropractors typically pay separate fees to two organizations:
- The College of Chiropractors (the regulatory body)
- The Chiropractic Association (member services, advocacy, and professional support)
In New Brunswick, the New Brunswick Chiropractors Association (NBCA) fulfills both roles. As a result, regulatory and association fees are combined into a single annual dues payment rather than being invoiced separately. The total cost is therefore comparable, not higher.
The NBCA issues annual dues invoices each fall for the upcoming membership year, payable Jan 1.
If you anticipate a change in your membership category, please contact the NBCA office so your dues can be adjusted accordingly.
Current Member Categories and Fees
As of the 2026-2027 membership year, annual dues are as follows:
| Member Category | Annual Fee |
|---|---|
| Full-Time Active Member - 1st Year | $1,760 |
| Full-Time Active Member - 2nd Year | $2,200 |
| Full-Time Active Member - 3rd Year | $2,985 |
| Full-Time Active Member - 4th Year and Over | $3,200 |
| Part-Time Active Member | $2,237 |
| Leave (Non-Practising) | $1,315 |
New members will receive a prorated dues invoice based on the month in which their membership begins.
