Our proven approach to promotion, research, and education has seen significant advancements in how the Australian government and the public view the TCM industry. The relevance and effectiveness of Chinese medicine are now embraced as a valid part of the mainstream health system in Australia.
AACMA continues its dedication to members’ education and promotion by investing in critical research, enhanced education opportunities, practical courses, tailored workshops, and events such as its annual conference Australasian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Annual Conference (AACMAC).
