Clinic Information and Policies
Since 1987 the CCAOM has operated a full scope Chinese medicine clinic in Victoria. Open to members of the public, and priced to ensure access by people from varying socio-economic backgrounds, student practitioners provide treatment for all types of ailments.
We are the only college in Victoria that requires our student interns to have at least two years of clinical observation and instruction before administering treatments to the public. All treatments are supervised by qualified practitioners from among our faculty, each of whom has a minimum of seven years experience in the profession.
Please call to make your appointment, as we do not accept appointments via email.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been proven effective for almost all health conditions. In China, most patients go to hospital seeking herbal treatment. Westerners are now beginning to realize that herbal medicine is the "main stream" of Chinese medicine, and accounts for the majority of patient care, as is reflected in our clinic.

Since 1972 auricular acupuncture has been applied clinically as a safe, effective and low cost approach to addressing drug and alcohol dependency. Commonly used as an adjunct to established addiction treatment programs, the NADA protocol is applied in over a thousand addiction centres throughout the US and Canada.
Acudetox involves the insertion of five small needles into specific locations in both ears which stimulates the detoxification of chemical substances from the body and controls withdrawal symptoms. This system has broad applications in the treatment of IV drug use, smoking, food addictions and general stress disorders.
What is NADA?
The National Acupuncture Detox Association supports education and training related to the use of a specific auricular acupuncture protocol in addiction treatment to relieve suffering during detoxification and withdrawal. NADA strives to make acupuncture based barrier-free addiction treatment accessible in all communities and to ensure its integration with other treatment modalities.
