Welcome to Western Sydney Integrative Health

Our mission

At Next Practice our mission, put simply, is to provide the best healthcare experience on the planet Earth!

About us

We are Australia's first University-based integrative medical services clinic, an initiative of Western Sydney University's NICM Health Research Institute and Chinese Medicine Centre (in the area of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and run by Next Practice.

At Next Practice care of Western Sydney Integrative Health (WSIH), we operate at the highest possible standards of excellence in a world-class facility – Western Sydney University‘s NICM Health Research Institute, located on the Westmead campus.

We are passionate about the value of combining mainstream “Western” medicine with evidence-based complementary treatments, to provide you the best of both worlds.

One in three Australians live with a chronic disease. Evidence based integrative therapies like yoga, mindfulness, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements and acupuncture can help improve quality of life and health outcomes in chronic illness when integrated with conventional healthcare. We support practitioners to work closely with your existing/regular health professionals to help you reach your health and wellbeing goals.

Cancer care services

Practitioners at Next Practice WSIH have expertise in supportive cancer care and provide a range of services to support you throughout your journey in order to complement your medical treatment. Our whole person approach is based on the latest scientific evidence.

Patients with cancer are eligible for subsidised treatments through the WSIH Care. This foundation provides funding to subsidise a total of 3 appointments of supportive cancer care per patient, all year round. This includes Acupuncture, Private Yoga Therapy and Oncology Massage Therapy. We also provide Group Yoga Classes at an unlimited amount. Learn more on our Cancer support services page.
