Paramount College of Natural Medicine (PCNM) is a private college based in Perth, Western Australia. The College delivers accredited courses for study in naturopathy, homoeopathy, western herbal medicine and massage, at the College’s Malaga Campus.
The College was formed in 2003 by Gilliane Burford after she completed her diploma in Natural Medicine in Western Australia and running a practice and natural health product distributorship, Paramount Health. Accreditation was sought with the Training Accreditation Council for Paramount College to deliver selected qualifications from the nationally endorsed Health Training Package HLT02. This Training Package was released in December 2001 and Paramount College of Natural Medicine was first accredited in December 2002.
In 2005, the first of the PCNM’s students graduated with Advanced Diplomas in Naturopathy, the first students in Western Australia to graduate while completing all their studies under the new Training Package.
In February 2007, the Training Package HLT02 was replaced by HTL07, which strengthens the qualifications available in the field of natural medicine. Paramount College completed its re-accreditation to the new health training package in December 2007 and was providing qualifications in accordance with the new training package in 2008.

“If all political power be derived only from Adam, and be to descend only to his successive heirs, by the ordinance of God and divine institution, this is a right antecedent and paramount to all government; and therefore the positive laws of men cannot determine that, which is itself the foundation of all law and government, and is to receive its rule only from the law of God and nature.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“A college of wit-crackers cannot flout me out of my humor. Dost thou think I care for a satire or an epigram?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another’s company and aid in consultation. A doctor who cannot take out your appendix properly will recommend you to a doctor who will be unable to remove your tonsils with success.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
