Psilocybin assisted psychotherapy for methamphetamine dependence
Oct
14
2:00pm - 3:00pm
Seminar or Forum
The field of psychedelic medicine has been rapidly evolving over the past 10 years, with over one hundred clinical studies now underway globally, including six candidates in Phase 3 trials. In response, the Australian TGA recently re-scheduled psilocybin and MDMA for the treatment of depression and PTSD respectively. Encouraging data is also emerging for addictive disorders.
In this seminar Professor Brett will present an overview of results from the world’s first clinical study investigating psilocybin assisted psychotherapy for methamphetamine dependence, which was recently conducted at a St Vincent’s hospital Sydney.

Smart Farms: How AI is Transforming Agribusiness
Join us for a timely discussion on how artificial intelligence and digital farming are reshaping the future of agriculture. As the world faces increasing pressure to produce more food sustainably in the face of climate change, resource constraints, and shifting consumer demands, innovation has never been more critical.
This event will explore how cutting-edge technologies — from precision crop management and autonomous systems to climate-smart analytics and sustainable finance — are helping farmers optimise resources, strengthen supply chains, and build resilience against future disruptions. Learn how Australia’s rural and regional sectors are leading the way in harnessing AI, sensors, and other digital farming tools to address global food security challenges and create a more sustainable future for agriculture.
