This information is made available to students and graduates by way of the campus libraries, trade shows, and other College-authorised events.

The natural health industry has a range of Professional Associations that can provide ongoing professional development as well as the opportunity to be a part of a supportive network of those involved in your profession.
Endeavour College believes that supportive, vibrant and innovative industry-based organisations are essential to the growth and development of both the industry and its professionals. Many of these Professional Associations are represented on our Course Discipline Committees, which are an important element in our continuing course development.
We don’t endorse any particular professional organisation or association and, as there are multiple representative associations, we recommend students research the philosophical differences and consider their professional memberships based on their own individual career paths and personal aspirations.
Some questions to consider in making your decision:
In a competitive membership environment, some professional organisations may set their membership standards higher than the federal government’s requirement under TEQSA for achieving your degree. In sectors where health rebates are available, under the Private Health Insurance (Accreditation) Rules 2011, membership of at least one professional association is required for health rebates. The legislation also defines the Professional Association requirements in Part 2 No. 10. ‘Treatments provided by other health care providers’.
