Trending Health Concerns
This page is the list reception actually fields, written down. It changes over time, which is the only sense in which anything here is trending.
For acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in Australia, practitioners are registered with the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia under AHPRA, and you can look anyone up on the public register yourself in about a minute. Massage and several other therapies are not AHPRA-registered and work through professional associations instead — which is a real difference, and worth knowing rather than assuming.
Ask us who you are seeing and what they are registered for. It is a reasonable question and the answer should be immediate.
Nobody here can answer that before seeing you, and anyone who answers it confidently in advance is telling you something about their sales process rather than your condition. What you should get is an honest view after a first appointment, including the cases where the answer is that this is not the right place.
No, and we will say so. What happens here sits alongside medical care, not in place of it. Anything new, worsening, or accompanied by weight loss, bleeding, chest pain or breathlessness goes to a doctor first.
Herbal medicine here is never supplied without a consultation, and no product is recommended on a web page, by phone or by email. There is a reason for that beyond caution: herbs interact with prescribed medication, and that can only be assessed when someone knows what you are taking.
Ask reception for current fees — we would rather quote you than leave a number on a page to go stale. On length: a first appointment is usually about an hour, and follow-ups are shorter.
Yes. We rent treatment rooms to practitioners, and that is a separate conversation from patient bookings. The room-hire page has the detail.
