Looking for qualified Chinese medicine practitioners in Perth or Geraldton? At Nature’s Chinese Medicine, you’ll find AHPRA-registered practitioners with over 60 years of combined clinical experience across two clinics — one in Belmont (Perth) and one in Geraldton. Each clinic is led by its own Principal Practitioner. Both Dr Fu Fu Yang and Dr Valen Yang hold registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) under the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia — the national standard for safe, qualified Chinese medicine practice.
Trained in Taiwan’s Classical-Formula Lineage
Both Dr Fu Fu Yang and Dr Valen Yang were born and raised in Taiwan, and that background matters more than it first appears. Classical-formula medicine is one of several branches within Chinese medicine, and Taiwan is one of the places where this particular branch has been carried forward as a living clinical practice — where practitioners still learn directly from the foundational texts, some written close to two thousand years ago.
This tradition is known as classical-formula medicine: prescribing according to the precise patterns set out in the foundational texts and refined and relied upon across generations of clinical use. Both practitioners trained in this lineage as disciples of Ni Hai Xia (倪海厦), a central figure in carrying the classical-formula tradition into modern practice. Dr Valen Yang completed his Chinese medicine training in Taiwan; both continue to ground their day-to-day clinical decisions in the classical texts that lineage is built on.
For you as a patient, it means the thinking behind your treatment traces back to a continuous line of clinical reasoning, carried directly from teacher to student.

Why Choose AHPRA-Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioners?
Australia made AHPRA registration mandatory for Chinese medicine practitioners in 2012. But why does it matter? Choosing an AHPRA-registered practitioner means you’re seeing someone who holds an approved degree qualification, follows national standards for safe practice, takes part in continuing professional development, and is held accountable to a professional code of conduct by the board.
So before you start treatment with any practitioner, always check that they’re AHPRA-registered. It’s the simplest way to protect your health and safety.
