Chinese medical register check
September 10, 2014
The Chinese Medicine Board of
Australia has said patients should
check their Chinese medicine
practitioner is registered, and only
to visit registered practitioners.
This included Chinese herbal
medicine practitioners and herbal
dispensers, the Board said.
Consumers were able to check
this by going to the Board’s
website, National Board chair for
Chinese medicine Professor Charlie
Xue said.
This was a routine reminder and
awareness raising as part of the
transitional period of registering
Chinese medicine practitioners on
the national register, Xue said.
This period would end in June
next year and the notice was letting
practitioners and communities
know registration was necessary
before then, Xue said.
As of March this year, there were
4,219 registered Chinese medicine
practitioners in Australia, with 122
non-practising and the majority
(1,707) in NSW.
