  An interview with Professor Vivian Lin
  
  Chairperson of Chinese Medicine Registration Board of Victoria
  ...
  The author paid a visit to Professor Vivian Lin, President of Chinese Medicine Registration Board of Victoria..
  
  "The Chinese Medicine Registration Board consists of nine members, who were appointed by the Minister for Health of Victoria, and is responsible for the implementation of various items contained in the Chinese Medicine Registration Act, including assessment and registration of practising Chinese medicine practitioners, establishment of guidelines for approving training courses, dealing with relevant complaints and management of certain toxic Chinese herbs etc. " said Professor Lin.
  
  "Although these tasks may not seem relevant, they are all related to one core purpose - i.e. protecting the safety of the public.This includes protecting them from non-standardised Chinese medicine treatment, and ensuring correct use of certain toxic Chinese herbs.If adverse incidents occur, the Board will ensure that complaints from the public will be effectively dealt with through a series of procedures", Professor Lin continued.
  
  Since this comprehensive registration of Chinese medicine in Victoria is the first in the Western world, the task is arduous beyond our previous expectations.Due to the complexity of the task as well as the rigorous decision-making processes specified by the Board, there has been some delay.We therefore ask applicants to be patient.Every decision has to be considered carefully by relevant subcommittees before being passed by the Board at its general meetings.
  
  Professor Lin pointed out, "Since the aim of registration is to establish relevant standards, in order to ensure the quality of Chinese medicine treatment and to establish Chinese medicine as a profession trusted by the public, it is natural that some applicants may not be able to meet the requirements specified by the Board.
  ...
  Professor Lin said, "on behalf of all members of the Board, I would like to extend my thanks to the community at large and to the professionals in the field of Chinese medicine, for their high level of support.
