A taxonomy of regulatory and policy matters relevant to psychedelic-assisted therapy in Australia
Australia has recently approved psilocybin and MDMA for treating severe depression and PTSD when used with professional therapy support. This paper creates a comprehensive guide outlining all the regulatory, professional, and safety considerations needed to safely deliver these treatments in clinical settings. The researchers interviewed 11 experts and reviewed existing research to identify 102 specific matters that need clear guidelines, such as what qualifications therapists need, where treatments can be delivered, how patients should be screened, and what safety measures are essential.
