We understand that the future of natural therapy depends on graduates, with every new wave refreshing and revitalising our industry. At ANTA, we wanted a way to recognise the exceptional achievements of new graduates and provide them with a financial contribution. So in 2016, we created the ANTA Graduate Awards.
To select award winners, our panel of experts assesses the academic transcript of each candidate, including units completed, consistency of work, clinical practicum, and overall achievement. We grant a total of 24 awards throughout the year— 12 in the first half of the year, and 12 in the second.
In addition to being recognised as remarkable natural therapy students, award winners receive a prize of $200 and 12 months of complimentary ANTA practitioner membership.
The ANTA Graduate Awards are open to all graduates who have completed an ANTA-recognised natural therapy course.
To enter the awards, you’ll need the following:
If you’ve already been approved as a New Graduate ANTA member, we’ll automatically include you in the awards.
Congratulations to our 2024 winners! Their work was outstanding, and the award well deserved.
