What Australia’s Story Can Teach Future Homeopaths
What happened to homeopathy in Australia—and why does it matter if you’re considering training today? In this episode of the Strange, Rare, and Peculiar podcast, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray record from New Zealand to unpack the rise and fall of homeopathy in Australia, and the lessons it holds for students in Australia and New Zealand right now.
Once a thriving profession with busy practices, insurance reimbursement, and multiple training programs, Australian homeopathy experienced a sharp decline between 2005 and 2015. In Homeopathy Down Under, Alastair draws on his two decades of clinical and teaching experience in Australia to explain why the story is often misunderstood—and why it wasn’t simply the result of outside opposition. Instead, the conversation looks honestly at standards, education, accountability, and what happens when rigor is lost.
If you’re searching for a homeopathy course in Australia or New Zealand, or trying to understand what makes professional training credible and future-proof, this episode offers essential context. Homeopathy Down Under is a must-listen for prospective students who care about learning homeopathy deeply, practicing responsibly, and helping shape a stronger future for the profession in the Southern Hemisphere.
