What psychedelic access is allowed in Australia?

Prescription-only access since 2023. Access depends on the substance and setting; this is not blanket permission to possess, buy or sell psychedelics.

Official source: MDMA and psilocybine hub (Authorised Prescriber access) →

Since 1 July 2023, specialist psychiatrists authorised under the TGA’s Authorised Prescriber scheme can access MDMA for post-traumatic stress disorder and psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression. These remain unapproved medicines. Clinical-trial access is also possible; this is not general legal access or a retreat-licensing scheme.

Current law

Poisons Standard Schedule 8 (TGA Authorised Prescriber)

  • Only authorized psychiatrists may prescribe
  • Limited to PTSD (MDMA) and treatment-resistant depression (psilocybin)
  • Treatment happens in clinical settings, not retreats
  • Possession without a prescription remains a crime
