CMA Media Release
3 November 2014
CMA National Conference & Industry Awards
Complementary Medicines Australia (CMA) recently welcomed around 270 delegates and guests
to Sydney for the 2014 National Conference and Industry Awards.
CMA chief executive, Mr Carl Gibson, said, “we were delighted to present an exceptional
program of Australian and International speakers, each providing a fresh insight in exploring the
theme ‘The Wellness Revolution’, a theme that encompasses a number of key approaches for
how our industry can continue to innovate, grow, and contribute to improved consumer
health.”
“Complementary medicines have been shown to play a significant role in allowing individuals to
maintain a high level of physical and psychological wellness, and our industry holds enormous
potential to assist in combating unsustainable health care costs. Our National Conference
provided a strong reminder of how complementary medicines can help deliver preventative
healthcare today for a better, healthier tomorrow.”
In summation, Mr Gibson said, “this is an exciting time for the complementary medicines
industry. With two in every three Australians using complementary medicines on a regular basis,
our industry has a central role to play in empowering consumers to care for their health, and in
promoting a shift in policy focus from the traditional disease model to one of health and
wellness.”
Once again, the 2014 Industry Awards were strongly contested. Mr Gibson noted the
importance of the Awards to Industry as providing an opportunity to recognise and celebrate
the outstanding contributions made by both individuals and companies.
“CMA Industry Awards are a celebration of excellence, and a chance to recognise the
commitment, integrity and contributions of our members to the complementary medicines
industry and, ultimately, to consumers and consumer health.”
