About AcuBondi

About our practitioners.

AcuBondi is an acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine clinic in Bondi Junction, run by two registered practitioners who work alongside your GP and other care.

Our approach

Anya and Tom both trained under Ross Penman, who has practised Chinese medicine in Sydney for more than 45 years. You’ll get the same careful style of treatment with either of them.

  • 01

    Classical roots

    Our treatment is based on classical acupuncture, with theory and technique that go back to the early Han Dynasty.

  • 02

    Modern insight

    We keep up with current research into how acupuncture works, and we’re happy to work with your doctor.

  • 03

    The whole person

    We look at your health as a whole, not just the problem that brought you in.

Registered acupuncturist

Thomas Penman

BHSc (Acupuncture) · AHPRA registered · AACMA member

Thomas Penman is a nationally registered acupuncturist with a Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture from Endeavour College of Natural Health. He is registered with AHPRA and is an accredited member of AACMA.

Thomas offers a distinctive blend of classical training and modern clinical insight. Mentored for more than a decade by his father, Ross Penman, a pioneer of Chinese medicine in Sydney with over 45 years of experience, Thomas continues to refine his practice within a lineage of deep clinical expertise. The family tradition in Chinese medicine extends back over 200 years, a heritage that informs and enriches his approach to care.

Grounded in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, Thomas also maintains a strong interest in how acupuncture works. He actively engages with contemporary biomedical research, exploring how molecular and physiological processes may explain outcomes that Chinese physicians described centuries ago. This integration of classical understanding with modern scientific insight defines his clinical approach.
