About Us

“CMA champions a thriving complementary medicines industry built on quality, safety, and consumer wellbeing.”

We are a membership organisation, representing members across the entire industry supply chain, including manufacturers, importers, exporters, raw material suppliers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers. CMA promotes appropriate industry regulation and advancement to ensure consumers have access to complementary medicines of the highest quality.

We are proud to work closely with the TGA and other Australian government agencies, such as Austrade and DFAT, to ensure a strong and sustainable industry.

We work hard to ensure consumers have access to safe, high-quality products, and we advocate for our industry, promote research and innovation, and uphold the highest standards of quality and safety. 

Complementary Medicines Australia (CMA) is the peak industry body for the complementary medicines supply chain in Australia.

Complementary medicines encompass a wide range of products, from vitamins and minerals to herbal remedies and traditional medicines like Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. Over three-quarters of households use these complementary medicines. This reflects a growing emphasis on preventative health and wellbeing, driven by factors such as an ageing population, increasing chronic diseases, and a desire for natural health solutions.
