Event Details
NaturopathMAX presents a Health Debate on whether naturopathy should be registered on the government board: the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency known as AHPRA.
Come along for a night of intriguing debate, passionate discussions and networking opportunities. The event is free of charge!
The stella panel will discuss the potential positive and negative impacts of naturopaths being officially registered. The health debate will identify the practical outcomes of registration – both for naturopaths and for the public who utilise these services – and allow arguments and positions from all sides to put on the table.
Panel
- Professor Stephen Myers, international leader in complementary medicine education and research based at Southern Cross University, Lismore NSW.
- Jonathan Wardle, author of the widely used text ‘Clinical Naturopathy’.
- Erica McIntyre, Vice President of the National Herbalists Association of Australia.
- Chistine Pope representing the Natural Medicine and Therapies Registration Board.
- Brad McEwen, well know Australian clinical naturopath, researcher, lecturer and author.
In addition to a lively panel discussion and debate, there will be short presentations from various speakers, including the Chinese Medicine Board (as Chinese medicine recently registered on AHPRA on July 1st, 2012). Also invited are speakers from AHPRA and a representative from the health minister’s office.
