Community Acupuncture by Ping Ming Health

Independent practice opportunities | Fitzroy, Prahran and Hawthorn Build your practice within a supportive team while helping make Chinese medicine more accessible.

Ping Ming Health is seeking Chinese medicine practitioners who share our commitment to affordable, qualified and compassionate care.

Managed by Ping Ming Health, established in 1992 by Dr Ping Wang, our clinics bring together traditional Chinese medicine, modern clinical systems and a highly experienced and supportive team setting.

Practitioners join us under an independent practice agreement, with the clinic providing management services, established systems, ongoing mentoring and professional development to support their practice.

Why Community Acupuncture?

The purpose of Community Acupuncture is to make quality acupuncture and Chinese medicine accessible to more people. Treatments take place in a welcoming, shared treatment space. This model helps us keep care affordable while creating an environment where practitioners work alongside one another and patients feel part of a caring community.

Community acupuncture suits practitioners who enjoy connecting with people, working cooperatively and providing attentive, individualised care within an efficiently run clinic.

Affordable care requires thoughtful organisation, clear communication and sound clinical judgement. We are looking for practitioners who value these skills and want to develop them with our support.

Our Team Culture

Our long-standing reputation is built on trust, teamwork and care. You’ll join a warm, supportive and respectful team where kindness, professionalism and personal integrity are valued alongside clinical skill. Our practitioners share knowledge, discuss cases and support each other’s development.
