Seeking a career in Chinese medicine? This double degree integrates Chinese and Western medicines, combining Chinese medicine's principles, diagnosis and treatment (like acupuncture, herbal medicine and other therapeutic approaches) with western medical sciences and diagnosis. You'll gain theoretical knowledge, practical skills, clinical experience and recognised qualifications in Chinese medicine. It emphasises the integration of Chinese and western medicines, working together with the health community to provide the public with the best possible treatment. Advanced clinical training is provided in Australia and China to broaden your clinical experience. We have consulted extensively to develop our Chinese Medicine programs, since their inception in 1993. Our program development is done in consultation with the University's Chinese Medicine Program Advisory Committee and major professional associations.

Chinese medicine has been regulated in Victoria since 2000 and nationally since July 2012. Employment opportunities are expected to increase with the national mandatory registration. Graduates will be able to practise Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture at an internationally-accepted level. You could go on to independent practice, a multidisciplinary healthcare clinic, teaching and/or research.
