Welcome to the Mind Medicine Australia Podcast where we explore breakthrough innovations for mental illness.
The Mind Medicine Australia Podcast aims to connect, listen and share the power of lived experience stories of psychedelic-assisted therapies and mental health to inform research directions, policy and system change.
In this podcast you’ll hear about the real experiences of people who have endured and recovered from mental ill-health using psychedelic-assisted therapies. As a part of this exploration, we’ll explore related tools and experiences that our guests have used to cultivate and maintain wellbeing.
You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

- To share people’s understanding of wellbeing with the community.
- To consider how lived experience can influence research directions, policy and system change.
