East & WestOur practitioners have both Chinese and Western medical degrees to approach your health from a broader perspective
Dr Scott Ling founded Sustain Health in 2009 after working in various eastern and western practices and struggling to find a match for his vision of integrative health care. Since then, he has developed the practice to be one of the most reputable Chinese medicine clinics in the country.
Born and raised in Borneo, Dr Ling witnessed the potential of Chinese medicine when his 80-year-old grandfather regained the ability to walk after suffering a neurological condition. He was inspired to attend Shanghai University of Chinese medicine and opened his first clinic in Malaysia in 2004 before moving to Australia.
Since then, Dr Ling has achieved his dream of helping people to walk again after studying Scalp Acupuncture under the prominent Dr Zhu. His commitment to education is continued by his team of practitioners at Sustain Health, who are always upskilling through education courses and seminars in the latest techniques.
Dr Ling’s quest for knowledge also inspired the foundation of SustainHealth Academy in 2018, which hosts the world’s top masters in Chinese medicine to provide continuous education through courses and seminars.
