Since its establishment the Institute has progressed to include many external and part-time study options, there by providing a high degree of flexibility for all students. The Institute can confidently offer qualifications equal to any in the world and ensures graduates a sound position in private practice. Consequently the Australian Institute of Applied Science has become one of Australia's premier tertiary institutions offering higher education in Natural Medicine.

The Australian Institute of Applied Sciences has recently amalgamated with the National Institute of Health Sciences, Canberra (Australia's capital city) ACT. The National Institute is the only accredited Degree provider of Natural Medicine courses by distance education in Australia, and indeed throughout the world.

Commitment to Research
The Institute believes that the defining mark of a higher education institution is that organisations' interest and commitment to support research into the various fields of study offered by that Institution. The National Institute has from its inception, included scientific research in its courses.

The Bachelor program available through the National Institute of Health Sciences requires students to complete four levels of research methodology and then to compile a project and carry it through. Recently, the Institute formed an alliance with Safe Analytical Laboratories on the Gold Coast where students can further their studies through research.
