Are you interested in studying Homeopathy and wondering where you can study in Australia?
Although homeopathy has been in existence for over 250 years, many people are not aware of its effectiveness at stimulating the body’s own healing energies. However, it has benefited millions of people from countries all over the world, and as each person is different, homeopathy is prescribed on an individual basis. For instance, two people might be suffering from the same illness e.g. a migraine, however, individual symptoms can vary enormously, and different homeopathic remedies are prescribed according to the physical symptoms, mental and emotional symptoms and the general sensitivities of the person concerned.
There have been numerous clinical trials of homeopathy which show positive results, I have taken the list below from the Faculty of Homeopathy’s research website, which lists all of the trial details:
- childhood diarrhoea
- hay fever
- post-operative ileus
- respiratory tract infection
- rheumatic diseases
Therefore, many who have experienced the beneficial effects of homeopathy for themselves, or their family, are often interested in learning how to use homeopathic first aid treatments, and once they have seen how quickly results may be seen, may wish to study homeopathy in depth. I have listed some possibilities below for the Australian population. There are excellent homeopathy schools online.
Right now is the best time for Australians to start to study homeopathy because we are on the cusp of experiencing a boom in homeopathy in Australia.

The Academy of Homeopathy Education (AHE) New York
This homeopathy college also offers homeopathic courses online. The AHE NYC | World school in New York was established by Denise Straiges and Alistair Grey (originally from Sydney, Australia). They run a four-year part-time program and they say they “understand the discordance of learning about the natural world online”, so they “consciously use technology to augment learning instead of hindering it”. Clinical training is flexible and can be completed during the four years. All of AHE’s classes and clinics are done live and online via Zoom video conferencing software. They have cohorts with times that are do-able for our Australian time zone.
Course duration: Four years commencing in September

Student group at The Harbord Homeopathic Clinic, Sydney
This clinic has a homeopathic student group for those who are studying homeopathy online with any of the colleges overseas.

The clinic also takes interns who come for a day or a week for clinical practice experience.
