Welcome to the Australian College of Eastern Medicine Site

We are Queensland's leading and longest established Shiatsu Colleges, specialising in Shiatsu and related Oriental Therapies since 1987.

International Students are welcome as ACEM is now a registered CRICOS approved training organisation.  Training is now offered in intensives to support your training needs

The College offers Nationally Recognised Training including:

  • The Diploma of Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies (HLT50207). 
  • The Diploma of Remedial Massage (Eastern) (HLT 50307)

The College also offers an Advanced Diploma of Acupuncture and Oriental Therapies which is accredited by The Australian Natural Therapies Association (ANTA). 

ACEM is very pleased to announce that articulation with Southern Cross University and Charles Sturt  University is now  finalised.This will ready  the College for registration of its acupuncture training to the level of a Bachelor of Clinical Science which is due to commence in July 2012.

The Diploma of Animal Acupuncture and Oriental Therapies training is also available especially for those seeking a career in the Equine Complimentary Medicine industry.

As class sizes are quite small (usually between six to twelve students), students are guaranteed to get individual attention.The focus at ACEM is on quality not quantity.
