Why NICM Deserves Your Support

Western Sydney University’s National Institute of Complementary Medicine is Australia’s global leader in integrative and complementary medicine research, holding the highest ERA 5 rating for excellence. Our mission spans bench to bedside, driving high-quality, ethical, and socially responsible research.

In March 2024, NICM received a landmark $10 million philanthropic gift from the Blackmore Family Foundation, our strongest vote of confidence yet in the transformative potential of integrative health science. We are also deeply grateful for the ongoing support from the Jacka Foundation of Natural Therapies and other generous philanthropic donors, whose contributions enable us to continue the vital research needed in this field.

Today, NICM is at the forefront of solving pressing health challenges - from ageing and chronic disease, to women’s health research-informed complementary therapies.
