Our CEO

Dr Deon SchoombieDeon Schoombie began his career working in various clinical settings from accident and emergency and general practice to psychiatric units in South Africa and London.

Across a variety of career directions he has moved through the realms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, became a pharmaceuticals consumer advertising watch dog, reviewed major advertising controls and then re-joined the then Australian Self Medication Industry team as Scientific Director.

Now, as CHP Australia CEO, Deon is a strong advocate of Self Care and supports the greater personal responsibility in maintaining health and well-being. He believes that Self Care should be formally acknowledged as an integral part of the public health system and that there should be greater recognition for self-medication, including complementary medicines, as an essential part of Self Care.
