Learning never stops , and at ATMS , we are committed to ensuring our members stay at the top of their game .
Bringing Natural Medicine to the Public Public awareness and consumer engagement are major priorities for us in 2025 . The Friends of Natural Medicine program has been relaunched , creating a direct link between natural health practitioners and the wider community . Consumers are now actively joining the initiative , accessing educational resources , and most importantly , using our Find a Health Practitioner feature to connect with trusted ATMS-registered professionals .
We ’ ve seen a huge surge in interest in our Let ’ s Talk Natural Medicine Podcast , hosted by Natalie Hume , where we ’ re discussing topics that matter most to consumers , breaking down myths , and reinforcing the credibility of natural medicine .
Additionally , we are thrilled to be working with Zoe Bingley-Pullin , who is providing exclusive professional recipes and nutrition content for our growing consumer audience . These initiatives are helping us build stronger connections with the public and position ATMS as a leader in health education .

Delivering Our Most Successful Events Yet This year , we have already achieved remarkable success with our most attended Transition to Practice program to date . Seeing new practitioners gain the confidence and skills to launch their careers has been one of the most rewarding parts of my role .
We are also gearing up for two flagship symposiums : the Lipoedema and Healthy Brain Symposiums . Registrations are now open , and these events promise to deliver cutting-edge research and world-class expertise to members and the broader healthcare community .
And , of course , Natural Medicine Week is on track to be our biggest and best yet ! This is our moment to showcase the incredible work of natural health practitioners across Australia and highlight the power of complementary medicine .
I want to take a moment to personally thank you for your unwavering commitment to natural health . You are the heart of this profession , and together , we are shaping a future where natural medicine is valued , respected , and accessible to all .
I can ’ t wait to see what we achieve together in 2025 . Let ’ s make it a year to remember !
