Sanitarium Sanctuary Health and wellbeing village

Evidence Based Health

Our Health and Wellbeing Expertise

An ongoing learning commitment

In addition to the expertise of our highly professional practitioners, Sanitarium's 110 year history and experience in health, our evidence-based service portfolio has been developed with the guidance of an independent advisory panel made up of experts in conventional and complementary medicine, public health and physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Through the collective experience of our strategic advisory panel, the highest ethical standards are applied to Sanctuary's core activities, guiding Sanctuary through its establishment and ongoing development to become a world-class centre for the integrated coordination of disease prevention and control, research, education, health promotion and genuine 'whole person' health care.
