Australasian Integrative Medicine Association

The Australasian Integrative Medicine Association (AIMA) is the peak medical body representing the doctors and other health care practitioners who practice integrative medicine.

Integrative Medicine is a whole-person, patient-centered medical practice.  It combines the best of conventional western medicine with evidence-based complementary medicine and therapies.  These practices are combined to provide the highest level of safe, effective healthcare for our patients.

Integrative Medicine reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, health care professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing.

It takes into account the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of the person with the aim of using the most appropriate, safe and evidence-based treatments available.
