Reiki in Australia today
For this reason in many countries, including Australia, the system of Reiki as a complementary therapy, is currently being provided in many Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Palliative Care Centres, and Community Service Settings.
The Australian Reiki Connection (ARC) is playing an important role in bringing about the integration of the system of Reiki, as a standalone therapy, into mainstream Healthcare.
​
Towards this end ARC is working with its members in further developing professional standards for Reiki practitioners and is the first Australian Reiki Association to introduce for its professional members, criteria for the teaching of Reiki.
​​
Since 1997 the Australian Reiki Connection, has consistently pursued on behalf of its members and the general public, continual communication with relevant Australian government departments, on the subject of the development of professional standards inline with the needs of Reiki practitioners and their clients, Reiki teachers and their students.
