overview
Returning in 2024, the Medicinal Psychedelics Conference is an objective platform for networking and discussion on the therapeutic potential of psychedelics compounds for medical and psychological treatments.
This conference brings together leading experts, psychiatrists, researchers, clinicians, policymakers and industry trailblazers to delve into the latest developments in Australia after one year of becoming the first country in the world to legalise the use of psychedelics to treat some mental health conditions.
By attending this conference, you will make new connections with important partners, get a real and practical picture of how the sector is evolving and participate in discussions with people who are at the coal face.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this important dialogue.
Key topics include:
- 2024 will mark a year since MDMA and Psilocybin were moved to Schedule 8 medicines in Australia – where are we now? Does the future look promising?
- What are the perspectives and insights of practising clinicians?
- How truly effective is psychedelics in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction?
- Ethical and legal considerations in psychedelic therapy?
- Psychedelics and the future of mental healthcare?
- What are the latest regulations and policies updates?
- Any updates on guidelines for psychiatrists prescribing psychedelics?
- Will Australia lead the world in the new era of psychedelic medicine?
