Discover how finding your passion, the right course, and relevant experience can lead to a fulfilling, successful career with ACS.
People today change jobs, even industries, more than ever before. In the past, most of us would
do one apprenticeship, diploma or degree, driven by a passion for our chosen profession. Then spend a lifetime growing our knowledge and expertise in that industry.
Increasingly, people today stumble into jobs they don’t particularly like, then frequently take right turns to study or work in something totally different.
We all want to experience the most from life, but perhaps in trying to experience more, we are actually diminishing these experiences.
What makes a career satisfying and successful?
- Working in something you have passion for.
- Passion at work keeps you motivated, happier and always learning.
- Motivated workers are more productive — leading to more opportunities.
Take the blinkers off
How aware are you of what your career passion might be and what opportunities are possible?
We meet a lot of people who express a passion for the environment and ask about our courses, but don’t really have a realistic understanding of the hundreds of different career pathways that relate to that passion.
Use our free counselling service
The best way to build a career that fits with the best version of you is:
First, determine your passion.
Second, learn more. Acquire knowledge and skills that are valuable for work in jobs related to your passion. Part of that can be taking a course, but it needs to be a good course, and the right course for you.
Third, get experience. If you can’t get a job at first, start volunteering. Paid work comes more easily to people with relevant experience, even unpaid experience.
Fourth, network. Make friends and build relationships with people who have shared interests.
We can help
Email admin@acs.edu.au and start a dialogue with one of our staff who can help you with all four of the above steps.
Our school offers more than 800 different courses covering many disciplines including Psychology, Health, Fitness, Trade skills, Horticulture, Pets, Wildlife, Hospitality, Writing, Business and more. See www.acs.edu.au.
What makes a good course?
More people than ever are studying multiple certificates, diplomas and degrees. But our time on this earth is limited and spending it studying something you’re not truly interested in can be just as unproductive as studying with the wrong course provider — even if it’s in a subject you care about.
Many accredited courses today are becoming shorter and more superficial. In Australia especially, there’s often a greater emphasis on assessment than on the learning itself. This shift is unsustainable — it prioritises ticking boxes over meaningful understanding and leaves students with qualifications that don’t always translate into real-world knowledge or skills.
- A good learning program needs to keep “learning” as the top priority.
- It should revisit key content in different ways throughout the course to help learners remember and understand better.
A good course engages students through varied methods and settings — both in and out of the classroom — using discussion, reading and multimedia to inspire and motivate their passion for learning.
Why is avoiding frequent career changes better?
Becoming a jack of all trades and master of none isn’t sustainable for anyone’s mental health, self-worth or overall life fulfilment. In the bigger picture, sticking to a career path you’re passionate about — and seeing it through — not only reduces skill shortages in society but also leads to a greater sense of fulfilment and mental stability in life.
- Staying longer in careers builds deeper expertise and a more skilled workforce.
- Stability improves productivity and work outcomes.
- Job satisfaction increases, promoting a positive workplace and overall wellbeing.
How do we achieve more satisfying careers?
- Start by identifying and encouraging your passion.
- Expand your awareness of the possibilities that match that passion.
- Ensure people get onto more suitable career paths that do not keep being abandoned.
- Engage with, motivate and support new entrants to any industry.
Successful careers are everyone’s responsibility
Employers, bosses, workers, teachers, students and careers officers all have a part to play in forging more successful career paths.

ATMS supports students’ natural medicine career with free membership, CPE, advocacy & resources to grow their careers.
As you near graduation — or if you have just completed your studies — it’s natural to feel overwhelmed by the decisions ahead. Whether you’re planning to open your own clinic or join an established practice, there’s a lot to navigate: attracting clients, meeting their needs and understanding the demands of running a business.
One of the most effective ways to set yourself up for success is by joining a professional association that’s genuinely invested in your career. Doing so provides access to the latest resources, expert guidance, a network of like-minded professionals and an organisation working to strengthen individual practices and the broader natural medicine industry.
The Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (ATMS) is proud to support its members and celebrate their significant contributions to natural medicine and the health of Australians. Through
a wide range of benefits, ATMS helps practitioners at every stage thrive in their careers.
ATMS’ free student membership offers you the opportunity to build strong career foundations and to access a community of your fellow practitioners.
Here’s how ATMS can support you throughout your career in natural medicine.
Comprehensive CPE calendar
ATMS offers a robust Continuing Professional Education (CPE) calendar featuring a variety of events tailored to different modalities, including Bodywork, Ingestive Therapies and Chinese Medicine. Start your career strong with Transition to Practice & Optimise Your Business, an in-person themed weekend, designed to support your move into practice or business ownership. ATMS also offers exclusive business training with the ATMS.
Biz Club — a year-long CPE program offering fortnightly online sessions to grow your business know-how. From webinars to hands-on workshops and symposiums, each event is led by experienced presenters and grounded in evidence-based practice.
The ATMS Webinar Library also houses on-demand recordings from previous events, an invaluable resource for flexible learning.
Past attendees of Transition to Practice said:
“The whole day was perfect and well-paced. The information and interactive parts were good. Very professional presentation.”
“I’m a teacher and I’ve been in practice a long time. I will advise all my students to attend this day. It’s terrific.”
Gain recognition as an accredited practitioner
ATMS recognises the depth of knowledge and experience its members bring to their fields. That’s why it developed the trademarked ATMS Accredited Practitioner logo, used across public-facing materials to promote the value of seeing qualified practitioners.
Members receive updated logos annually to reflect their current status, while student members are provided with badges that signal their commitment to professional standards and ongoing learning.
Championing the industry through advocacy
With its broad, multi-modality membership base, ATMS actively engages with government bodies, health funds and industry stakeholders to raise awareness of the diversity and value of natural therapies.
One of its major initiatives is Natural Medicine Week, an annual campaign highlighting the
work of accredited practitioners and the role of natural medicine in improving Australians’ health and wellbeing. This national campaign initiative features events, blogs and recipes via the website: naturalmedicineweek.com.au.
Year-round, ATMS raises awareness of the benefits of natural therapies through its Friends of Natural Medicine community newsletter and social channels. Find out more: atms.com.au/friends-of- natural-medicine.
ATMS actively promotes members through its Find a Practitioner online tool to encourage consumers to search for an accredited practitioner: atms.com.au/find-a-practitioner.
Stay informed with research and industry insights
ATMS is committed to evidence-based practice and ensures its members have access to the latest, most trusted research in the field of natural medicine.
Members have access to advanced clinical tools, including:
EBSCO – Access a comprehensive research database with 1600+ full-text journals and evidence-based clinical summaries to support your practice.
eMIMSplus – A dynamic platform offering seamless access to the most current and relevant medicine-related information to support safe and informed prescribing.
IMgateway – A trusted source of evidence-based content, providing in-depth information on conditions, herbs, supplements and the latest integrative medicine research.
nPOD – A powerful resource designed to assist clinical decision-making, offering evidence-backed insights to ensure your clients receive the most reliable and up-to-date treatment options available.
Student members can also access these resources to support their academic and clinical development.
Members also receive a digital version of the Journal of the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (JATMS), a respected peer-reviewed publication released quarterly and have access to private member community groups via Facebook.
Celebrating excellence across the profession
Each year, ATMS hosts the Natural Medicine Awards to acknowledge practitioners and clinics delivering outstanding care. Traditionally, the awards include categories for Practitioner of the Year, Clinic of the Year, and Student of the Year. In 2024, ATMS introduced a new category: Lecturer of the Year.
Beyond the awards, ATMS supports its members through two grant programs:
The Research Grant – Offering up to $10,000 for accredited members conducting major research in natural medicine.
The Simon Schot Education Grant – Providing 10 annual recipients with $500 to help cover study-related costs.
Join the ATMS community today
If you’re ready to take the next step in your natural medicine journey, consider joining the ATMS community. Student members can upgrade to an accredited membership for only $100 and gain full access to a wide array of resources, tools and opportunities.
Joining a professional association ensures you’re held to high standards, including ongoing education and adherence to a strict code of conduct — one that defines professional behaviour towards clients, colleagues, the profession and the public.
Together, we can build greater recognition for natural medicine, promote its diverse benefits and elevate the standard of care across the industry.

Discover 5 key health trends shaping 2025 — from proven supplements to AI, women’s health, fitness personalisation & weight care.
Consumers today think differently about 5 key health and wellness than they did between 2010 and 2020. The 2010s were all about following advice from influencers, fad diets and trends. From 2021 onwards, consumers have shown a stronger preference for products and guidance recommended by professionals. Here are five current trends that are likely to stick around for some time.
1. Proven health supplements
There is a growing demand for clinically proven supplements over unverified natural remedies. More people are opting for products recommended by their doctor or healthcare professional rather than relying on products lacking scientific backing. This shift is encouraging, as it helps protect consumers from being misled by unqualified influencers who promote health products without proper expertise.
2. Influence of AI
Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. It is increasingly shaping the way we access and understand health information. While not without risks, it also has potential to support decision-making. The key lies in using these tools alongside qualified guidance, not in place of it.
3. Women’s health
Women’s health, which has often been overlooked or shoved under the carpet, is finally getting the attention it deserves. Women are spending more on products that help them with menopause, ageing and sound sleep.
4. Personalised fitness
Personalised fitness is normally only accessible for people who can afford it. Now, thanks to AI, there are apps which can take the data you provide about your health and fitness and spit out a very personalised fitness plan.
5. Weight management
With evidence showing a healthy weight may significantly improve various health conditions, it is even more important to maintain a healthy weight. It’s now more achievable with the accessibility of weight loss of medication prescribed by doctors and lifestyle changes.
At Health Academy Australia, all courses are written by health professionals who are highly qualified in their fields. The content is based on conventional medicine and health, which provides the foundational knowledge to make informed decisions or can be used for career and professional development to consult with clients.
