Psychologists question their ‘egregious’ exclusion from leading psychedelic treatment
The Australian, June 9, 2026
A major debate is unfolding in Australia’s mental health sector after the TGA’s late-May expansion of who can participate in psychedelic-assisted therapies — an expansion that notably excluded the majority of psychologists. The Australian Association of Psychologists has described the decision as “egregious” and is now weighing legal options. While clinical psychologists and psychiatrists retain their roles as primary therapists, general and health psychologists — who make up two-thirds of the psychology workforce — have been left out. Mind Medicine Australia continues to monitor these regulatory developments closely, as workforce access remains critical to ensuring patients can receive these life-changing therapies.
