National Survey of Homeopathy in Australia
The Aurum Project has undertaken research to measure the demographics of homeopaths and their patients in Australia. This was the first time such a study was done in Australia. An innovative mixed methods study was designed to describe homeopathy practice in which homeopaths recorded aspects of their practice activity over an 8 week period in 2019.
Molluscum Contagiosum
A collaboration between Dr Sujata Niak's Clinic in Mumbai and Aurum Project members from WA and NSW is exploring similarities and differences between the Indian and Australian context in the treatment of Molluscum contagiosum using homeopathy. Dr Sujata Naik’s team is committed to homeopathic practice and research.
Urinary Tract Infection
We’ve set out the research question and started working on the homeopathy research tools for Urinary Tract Infection (surveys, consent forms, information sheets, ethics application) we will need in place to conduct the study. Once we are ready to launch, look out for our call to participate as we will need case studies from our colleagues to review.
The Autism Support Project
The Autism Support Project was set up in 2013 in response to the increase in ASD children and because parents are searching for answers in natural therapies. Selected practitioners have been recognised because of their experience and training in this field. They have participated in a process of peer review to become Autism Support Project Recognised Providers.
Teal Vision
The Teal Vision Pod was set up in 2021 to explore Teal Organisational Theory and Self Determination Theory that we have implemented in how we do research at The Aurum Project. We are using Teal Theory in all of our research activity and assessing the benefits it brings to our members.
Systematic Literature Review
The work on a Systematic Literature Review of Australian Homeopathy Research articles by Dr Sabina Vatter, Linlee Jordan and Dr Celeste Salter continues. Currently all papers have been collated and the process of assessment is underway. We will measure and categorise the extent of research activity conducted in Australia by Australian practitioners and researchers since 1990.
