ABSTRACT
This study investigated the Australian healthcare system, TCM policies, and the current situation of TCM practitioners, TCM education and TCM academic groups in Australia. Based on analysis of TCM services data released by Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, Australian Bureau of Statistics and Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, this article summarized the recent development of TCM in Australia and drew inspiration. Australia has established a relatively sound management mechanism for TCM, in which the overall development of TCM practitioners is good, and the activities of TCM education institutions and academic groups are promoting the localization of TCM in Australia. In order to further promote the overseas development of TCM, it is necessary to gradually form a standardized system for international education of TCM and apply it in other countries. The construction of Sino-foreign TCM hospitals should be explored to enhance the influence of TCM. To keep up with the time, it is necessary to take more communication effort on "Generation Z".
