Hands On India officially formed in 2016 following several years of university student organised trips which began in 2005. Initially, Chiropractor, Dr Brett Dellar and a group of Murdoch University students visited Siliguri, a remote community in the far North East of India to volunteer chiropractic and basic medical care. The student trip was such a success the program formally evolved into the Hands On India organisation as it stands today.
