Keep Up To Date With Australian Law & Ethics For Chinese Medicine Practitioners with NEW UPDATED Cases and Tribunal Decisions 2022.

Ever since Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have become registered professions with AHPRA, we’ve had to maintain a minimum of 4 CPD points per year of “professional issues”.

Join us for a Live Webinar with both Professor Michael Weir and Angela Doolan as they keep you up to date with current laws and ethical guidelines, which might just save your professional reputation one day.

This year we will cover and expand upon some of the more recent cases that have occurred in relation to complementary, alternative and allied health professions. There will be a review in accordance with most recent and relevant cases and updated legislation and requirements.
