Complementary medicine in Australia is mostly self- regulated. The only state-regulated complementary medicine practitioners are those practising Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the state of Victoria. However, there are now degree-based courses in complementary medicine and a number of self-regulated practitioner groups. These groups can be contacted to identify qualified practitioners.
