Who should apply for registration?
Any person who intends to practise acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal medicine in Victoria any time from 1 January 2002. The Board has published a policy that outlines the qualifications and experience requirements for registration. The only exception to the need to apply to the CMR Board for registration is if you are a registered medical practitioner, nurse, optometrist, physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractor, dental care provider or pharmacist. Then you should apply to your own (Victorian) registration board for an endorsement that will allow you to use some of the reserved titles of the Chinese medicine profession without committing an offence under the CMR Act.
