The National Institute of Integrative Medicine (NIIM)

A not-for-profit charitable organisation, NIIM was established by Professor Avni Sali, a pioneer of Integrative Medicine in Australia with the help of community supporters. Our mission is to educate healthcare professionals and the general public in Integrative Medicine, and to conduct research into integrative medical treatments and technologies. Our in-house NIIM Clinic provides the community with access to integrative medical doctors, complementary healthcare practitioners and innovative therapies under the one roof. Working together with a network of national and international partners, NIIM is dedicated to establishing a strong evidence-base for effective treatments and specialist technologies. These innovations which are accessible at the NIIM Clinic increase screening and treatment options for patients with chronic illnesses and can significantly improve patient outcomes. The Institute works to raise awareness of the role of Integrative Medicine in medical practice and public health. This is achieved through community campaigns, professional education, free public lectures and the media.

At NIIM, we empower people to take control of their health
