Member of COSA (Clinical Oncology Society of Australia)
Committed to evidence-informed, safe integrative support aligned with current oncology standards.
Choosing the proper support during cancer treatment is critical. Professional membership and regulated accreditation help you understand who is operating within evidence-informed, safe, clinically responsible frameworks.
Below is an overview of Heidi’s professional memberships, why they matter, and how they shape the standard of care she provides.
Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)
Registered Nurse – National Accreditation
AHPRA is Australia’s governing body for regulated health professionals, including medical practitioners and registered nurses. Being AHPRA-registered means Heidi:
Meets national standards for clinical practice, ethics, and ongoing education is accountable to the same regulatory body overseeing Australia’s nursing and medical workforce. Has formal training, qualifications, and clinical experience recognised by the Australian government and practices within clearly defined healthcare boundaries that protect patient safety
Patients deserve integrative support that respects oncology treatment plans and medical safety. AHPRA registration ensures Heidi’s work is grounded in evidence, ethics, and conventional clinical knowledge—reassuring for patients, families, and oncology teams.
Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA)
Member – Evidence-Informed Cancer Care Standards
COSA is Australia’s peak body for clinicians, researchers, and professionals working in oncology. Membership places Heidi alongside Australia’s leading cancer specialists, giving her access to current guidelines, research updates, and multidisciplinary perspectives.
Being a COSA member means Heidi is committed to the following…
- staying aligned with oncology best practice
- integrating complementary care safely within conventional treatment pathways following evidence-informed guidelines and avoiding harmful or unproven interventions, communicating in ways that clinicians understand and respect
- Integrative oncology requires safety, nuance, and respect for medical treatment. COSA membership signals that Heidi’s work complements—not replaces—oncology care.
Australian Naturopathic Practitioners Association (ANPA)
Member – Professional Standards for Naturopathic Practice
ANPA is one of Australia’s oldest professional bodies for naturopaths, ensuring members meet high standards in education, ethics, and evidence-informed practice.
Membership with ANPA means Heidi maintains accredited naturopathic qualifications, upholds strict guidelines for safe, research-aware complementary care and commits to ongoing professional development practices within clear ethical and clinical boundaries
Many people seek nutritional, herbal, or lifestyle approaches alongside medical treatment. ANPA membership ensures Heidi provides these safely and responsibly, with a focus on oncology-appropriate care.
A Holistic Approach Rooted in Care – Heidi’s Passion Project
Beyond her clinical and professional qualifications, Heidi’s commitment to caring extends to Australia’s native wildlife.
Through her initiative, 5% of every consultation fee is donated to Wildcare Australia, supporting the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of injured or orphaned wildlife.
