Australian Society of Hypnosis WA Inc.

The Australian Society of Hypnosis WA Inc. (ASH WA) has a long history of training health care professionals in the use of Clinical Hypnosis. The West Australian Society for Medical Hypnosis (WASMH),  which amalgamated with the WA Branch of ASH to become ASH WA , is believed to have been the first professional hypnosis society in Australia  and to have offered the first professional training leading to the award of a Fellowship..WASMH was founded in 1971 by Dr A.E. (Manny) Bernstien and a small group of Doctors and Psychologists.  WASMH both as a Society and as a training organisation was recognised by the International Society of Hypnosis  (ISH) . Since that time ASH WA has trained hundreds of health care professionals.

In addition to training those new to hypnosis, ASH WA will be providing ongoing professional development to members of the health care professions.

Eligibility for membership of ASH WA normally flows from enrollment in the current ASH WA Postgraduate Clinical Hypnosis Training program or from having completed this program in the past.

Enrollment in the ASH WA Postgraduate Training in  Clinical Hypnosis Course is open to health care practitioners eligible to be registered with AHPRA or who have a relevant degree from a Higher Education Training Provider recognized by the Australian Government with the proviso that they are registered members of their profession where such a profession is a regulated profession.
