Welcome
| Reflexologists in Australia are not trained in pathophysiology and are not equipped to offer medical diagnosis.
Professional members of the Reflexology Association of Australia (RAoA) understand this and abide by the duty of care as outlined in the code of ethics maintaining the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct. The professional duty of a practitioner is to completely assist the client to optimum health within the circumstances of the client’s condition. Diagnosis of physical conditions is not offered. This is one of the many benefits of being treated by a professional member of the RAoA.
Reflexology is a Complementary Integrated Therapy working alongside the western medical model in major hospitals in Australia and throughout the world. It does not promote exclusivity of treatment and does not cause distress to clients by making spurious claims about other professions. |
President's Welcome
As the President of the Reflexology Association of Australia it is my pleasure to welcome you to the web-site of the association dedicated to the unique modality of Reflexology. Our web-site offers information for the potential or existing member of the Reflexology Association, the student of Reflexology and the discerning public - welcome to you all!
The Reflexology Association is an independent, non-profit organisation managed by a Board of Directors and branch committees within each state. The Reflexology Association offers members an opportunity to be involved in the evolution of Reflexology in Australia.
As a member of the Reflexology Association you will enjoy the fellowship of like-minded people at meetings and gatherings within your own state or at national events such as conferences and workshops. You will benefit from the many opportunities for volunteering either at displays and expos or as a vital member of one of the local or national organising committees. It is important for the on-going vitality and growth of the association that many people become involved in its management and promotion. There are many rewards to be gained from volunteering at all levels.
The Reflexology Association of Australia is committed to further education and offers a structured programme of Continual Professional Training which enhances the professional life of all practitioners.
