AUSTRALIAN NATURALCARE supports ANPA students because of the significant contribution Naturopaths make in improving the health of Australians.
The ANPA is committed to the preservation of the legacy of naturopathy created more than one hundred years ago. Strong traditions must be kept alive to ensure the future of the naturopathic profession. Naturopathy students will contribute to this legacy by reading, writing, describing, clarifying and understanding the essential foundational concepts that are the core essence of how and why the profession of naturopathy is timeless.
Naturopathy has existed for more than one hundred years. Naturopathic care continues to be as effective today for acute and chronic conditions because it is based on timeless principles. Naturopathy is an art informed by science with a holistic approach that seeks to treat the individual as a whole, rather than the sum of their parts.
To support these traditions, the ANPA and AUSTRALIAN NATURALCARE are offering a $2000 bursary to assist students in their studies.
