Clinic Features

Professional receptionists (Melbourne & Brisbane): Our students are supervised by professional receptionists to ensure a high level of customer service and administrative knowledge. Appointments can be made over the phone, via email or in person with our friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Separate, private treatment rooms: All consultations and treatments are provided in separate consulting rooms to ensure comfort and confidentiality.

Flexible appointment times – including after hours and Saturday clinic times: Our clinics are open Monday to Saturday, with both early morning and evening appointments available to allow for busy schedules.

Dispensary: The Endeavour Teaching Clinics hold extensive dispensaries for Naturopathy, Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Homeopathy, Aromatherapy, Mind Body Medicine and Acupuncture – which means that prescriptions written by our student practitioners can be filled on the day of the appointment. All products are of the highest quality and are practitioner only – ensuring their efficacy. Products are sold below recommended retail price

State of the art equipment including:

• Iris Camera: Iridology involves analysis of the structures of the eye (colour, texture, specific markers) and can give an indication of a person's relative state of health. It provides information on genetic weaknesses/strengths, inflammation, toxicity, and stresses which can all provide clues to health problems the person may be having or may be more likely to experience. Endeavour clinics have state of the art iris cameras which allow clients to take home a copy of their iris photo so that any changes can be monitored through their practitioners.
• Bio-Impedance Analysis Equipment: BIA testing is a simple, quick and effective way of developing a personalised treatment regime for our clients. The testing itself can detect body composition, including total fat, muscle and bone mass, while also indicating any inflammation within the body and providing a metabolic age. The equipment and results can be used to set goals and track progress and also allow for individually tailored diet and lifestyle programs to be developed by our student practitioners.

Business resource Centre: In the Business Resource Centre the Clinic students will find many of the business resources needed to set up their own business and modality specific information for professional association memberships.

Graduate Clinic: With the increase in Melbourne CBD residents in recent years, Endeavour clinics have had more demand than they can cope with in particular modalities. Due to this, Endeavour are piloting a Graduate Clinic which aims to benefit the community by providing high quality continuity of care with a year-round presence and availability of a variety of practitioners; and the students, but offering them a stepping stone from student clinic to professional private practice and revenue for new graduates while they are establishing their careers.

Research: Endeavour College of Natural Health makes a fundamental contribution to the clinical education of thousands of student practitioners. In addition to the treatment of the clients the practitioners also educate their clients in the way of complementary medicine and work with these same clients to plan treatment strategies.

Research within the Endeavour Teaching Clinics is important because demand for Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM) in Australia has been growing at a significant pace (ABS 2008). As this interest in complementary medicines increases, more evidence of the benefit of CAM modalities is needed to improve the practice and understanding of the efficacy of these modalities. This research will add to this evidence. Students will also benefit with involvement in the research as it will add to their educational experience and provide the base knowledge should they want to be involved in research in the future.

Research has recently been completed at the Melbourne Clinic and also at Alfred Hospital.
