You can arrange affordable, professional indemnification insurance through AURA.
Members are encouraged to obtain a suitable Health Professionals' insurance should they intend to practice Reiki as an independent practitioner. There are several suitable Insurance Brokers operating in Australia. AURA has received advice from Insurance House that they can provide a range of flexible coverages for complementary health services including Reiki treatments. Remember to obtain a copy of membership certification from AURA to include in your application. Application form and IH brochures in hard copies or an electronic version are available from the Secretary.
Members also have a A$20 application fee, with an annual membership fee of A$40 per year. Members are required to have had a hands-on attunement with at least Reiki I using the techniques passed down from Dr Usui, and to be able to trace their teaching lineage back to him. Reiki channels who are unsure about their teaching lineage may be required to demonstrate their knowledge of Reiki techniques to members of the AURA committee before acceptance; regardless of this outcome they can still join as an Associate.
Alternatively if you are a Karuna Reiki® Master you can join as a full member.
If you wish to become a member please print and fill in this ![[WWW]](moin-www.png){kind=small}
membership form and return it to the address indicated.
The associate application form is available here.
The first two newsletters are available for you to view:
The newsletters are in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format, as are the AURA application forms above. If your computer does not have the capability to read them you can download the latest version of the Acrobat Reader from the Adobe website. Most PC computer magazines available from newsagents that come with an attached CD or DVD also have a copy of the Reader, if you wish to avoid downloading upwards of 15 MB.
The AURA Code of Conduct, Code of Ethics and Complaints Handling Procedure are now available in this document. The Complaints handling procedure is based on that of the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission for Unregistered Health Practioners, which is expected to be enacted in a similar format in other states in the near future. More information on this can be found here. Members are required to abide by these codes.
