Clinical Psilocybin Therapy Centres in Australia & NZ
From the 1st July 2023, psychiatrists in Australia who receive approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) have been able to prescribe psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression.
It is still very early days and a lot of uncertainty remains around exactly how psilocybin therapy will operate in Australia.
However, the first legal psilocybin-assisted therapy centres have now opened in Australia.
Below are legal psilocybin treatment centres that have been verified to have at least one AHPRA-registered Psychiatrist who is a TGA Authorised Prescriber for psilocybin.
We will continue to update this page with details of new treatment centres as they open.
