ASLM Fellowship

The Highest Professional Recognition in Lifestyle Medicine

The ASLM Fellowship is the highest accolade offered by the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine. It is a peer-recognised, multidisciplinary honour that acknowledges a high-level of expertise, professional development, and contribution to Lifestyle Medicine across clinical, research, education, and public health settings.

Fellowship is not a regulatory or academic qualification. Rather, it represents career achievement, and a shared commitment to improving health through Lifestyle Medicine.

Who can apply?

Eligible applicants include:

  • Practitioner Members of ASLM with:
    • A MBBS degree, Bachelor or higher in a health-related field
    • At least three years of clinical experience
    • Appropriate registration or affiliation within your discipline
  • General Members who have made outstanding contributions to Lifestyle Medicine in:
    • Public health
    • Research
    • Education
    • Community program delivery
    • These applications are reviewed individually by ASLM’s Education Advisory Committee.

(General members are assessed on a case-by-case basis by our Education Advisory Committee)

How it works - your pathway to Fellowship

Fellowship is achieved through a combination of formal ASLM training and recognition of your prior learning (RPL). This includes your education, professional development, and contributions to the field over time.
  • Completing core ASLM training in Lifestyle Medicine
  • Demonstrating competency in at least FOUR key domains such as:
    • Nutrition
    • Physical activity
    • Sleep health
    • Behaviour change and health coaching
    • Mental and emotional wellbeing
    • Social connection and support

You can also show additional expertise in areas such as:

    • Pathophysiology of chronic disease
    • Cultural identity and meaning
    • Addiction and exposure management

You’ll submit an RPL application to have your qualifications, CPD, clinical work, research, teaching, or publications formally assessed.

Already have postgraduate training or Lifestyle Medicine experience? You may be closer to Fellowship than you think – we’ll help you map out the path ahead.

Refer to the full Fellowship Framework for assessment guidelines and examples of eligible activities.
