Complementary Medicine Association

The Complementary Medicine Association (CMA) is one of the leading practitioner associations in Australia. Founded in 1985, the vision and purpose of the CMA is to support, advocate for, and represent Naturopaths, Nutritionists, Homeopaths, Western Herbal Medicine practitioners, Chinese Herbal Medicine practitioners, and Ayurvedic practitioners. The CMA has been working actively for almost 40 years to represent its members in forums with government bodies, health funds, insurance companies, and the general public. We provide complementary medicine healthcare professionals with a membership to a highly ethical and democratic association, and work to promote the benefit of complementary medicines broadly for the benefit of practitioners, clients, and humanity more broadly. The CMA promotes the science of complementary medicine and advocates for the rightful role of complementary medicine practitioners within the Australian healthcare system. We have worked hard since our inception to create an ethical and proactive association to represent the needs of practitioners and are committed to obtaining full government recognition for our members in the form of professional peer group registration.
