Australia became a global leader in psychedelic medicine when it became the first country to reschedule MDMA and psilocybin as controlled medicines in 2023.


As the first country to recognise MDMA and psilocybin as medicines, there are unique challenges for treatment teams seeking to begin delivering these therapies.

MMA has been the central player in driving Australia’s regulated medical psychedelic sector forward since it was founded in 2018. MMA’s achievements include:
1. Driving the successful rescheduling of MDMA & psilocybin as schedule 8 controlled medicines.
3. Developing and continuing to run the Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies (CPAT) course (link), Australasia’s leading psychedelic training program for clinicians (with a leading international Faculty).
CAPS was developed while Dr Sessa was in Australia in late 2023 to run the residential training for MMA’s CPAT. Dr Sessa and the MMA team could clearly see the need for a consulting service in Australia. This service aims to remove the headaches for Australian healthcare providers as they set up their psychedelic services and ensure best practices are followed to maximise benefit for patients and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Dr Sessa’s leading international expertise in the field, combined with MMA’s leading knowledge of the Australian landscape and expertise in systems and protocols makes CAPS an obvious choice for anyone seeking to work in Australia’s psychedelic sector.
Whether you’re running a chain of hospitals, a small private practice or anything in between, CAPS has the expertise and resources to allow you to deliver psychedelic services safely and effectively, with less hassle so you can maximise benefit for your patients.
