The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has identified certain therapeutic goods such as complementary medicines or disinfectants being inappropriately promoted for the prevention or treatment of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infections in Australia.
On 9 April 2019, the Minister for Health, Greg Hunt, announced new ‘review updates’ of 16 natural therapies that were stripped of Private Health Insurance (PHI) rebate eligibility just a week earlier.
Ten reasons why:
1. The NHMRC has not disclosed to the Australian public that it produced two reports, one in July 2012 and the one released to the public in March 2015.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has issued an open letter to community pharmacy banner and buyer groups in Australia instructing them to ‘cease all activities that encourage the stocking, promotion, recommendation or marketing of homeopathy’.
Tens of thousands of consumers protested with nearly 80,000 people joining the Your Health Your Choice (YHYC) campaign to call on the Government to protect their right of choice to access natural medicines.
The meeting was an important milestone in presenting cross-sector unity to government and having major issues of concern openly aired, particularly those relating to the bureaucracy’s approach to the homeopathy and natural medicines sector.

Following the NHMRC’s publication, on 11 March 2015, of its ‘Information Paper Evidence on the effectiveness of homeopathy for treating health conditions’ and ‘Statement on Homeopathy’ the AHA issued an open letter / media release to Professor Warrick Anderson, CEO of the NHMRC.
Following an invitation by the Chief Medical Officer to provide details on research supporting homeopathy’s efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness as part of the Federal Government’s review of health fund subsidies for natural therapies, a group of AHA professional members from the Australian Homoeopathic Association (AHA) put together a submission …
