Your Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Not sure where to start? These are the questions practitioners ask us most.
What is ASLM, and who is it actually for?
ASLM is the peak multidisciplinary professional body for Lifestyle Medicine in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, bringing together GPs, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, students and health coaches around evidence-based, whole-person care.
Is Lifestyle Medicine an evidence-based clinical discipline, not a wellness trend?
Lifestyle Medicine is a clinical discipline delivered by qualified health professionals and held to the same evidence standards as any other area of medicine. ASLM draws a clear line between wellness as a trend and wellbeing as a genuine clinical outcome.
I already talk to patients about lifestyle. Why is this different?
Lifestyle Medicine goes beyond a conversation. It’s a structured, evidence-based clinical approach with defined pathways, tools and outcomes, backed by training, credentialing and a body of research most general lifestyle advice doesn’t draw on.
Why is Lifestyle Medicine multidisciplinary, isn't this mainly for GPs?
Lifestyle Medicine belongs to every health profession. Nurses, allied health professionals, health coaches, researchers and GPs all play a genuine role, working together rather than in separate silos to support whole-person care.
Does Accreditation or Fellowship change my scope of practice?
ASLM is a professional association, not a Registered Training Organisation. Accreditation and Fellowship don’t grant the right to practise independently or change your scope of practice, they add recognised Lifestyle Medicine competencies to your existing qualifications, recognised by your colleagues, RACGP, RNZCGP and ACRRM.
What's the difference between Accreditation and Fellowship?
Accreditation (AALM) recognises your foundation training in evidence-based, whole-person care. Fellowship is ASLM’s highest honour, recognising sustained expertise and leadership. Explore our education pathways to find the right starting point.
Is this only for prevention, or does it treat disease too?
Lifestyle Medicine is used across the full spectrum, from preventing chronic disease to treating and, in many cases, reversing it, alongside conventional care for existing conditions.
