Australian Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Practitioners
Join the Psychedelic Therapy Movement.
Our mission is to create a trusted and ethical space for Psychedelic Assisted Treatment (PAT) practitioners to thrive.
AMAPP moves forward with open minds and courageous hearts.
Our Mission
A trusted and ethical space for practitioners to thrive
AMAPP was formed to be the peak body for legal psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) in Australia, providing a framework for its safe, ethical, accountable and effective introduction with a focus on the best client outcomes.
By providing peer support, advocacy, educational opportunities and resources, we strengthen a movement that honours healing, integrity, and the useful role of psychedelics in helping address mental health problems and the maintenance of a healthy society.
AMAPP is a registered charity with the ACNC and the ATO.
Built on three pillars
Peer support, advocacy and trust shape everything AMAPP does, from the regular program to public advocacy.
Peer Support
Nurture a connected, multidisciplinary PAT community that honours both professional expertise and lived experience. Through mentorship, leadership and a strong foundation of support, this network fosters resilience, ethical practice and innovation.
Advocacy
We advocate for equitable, safe and ethical PAT: promoting awareness, access and harm reduction, supporting client rights to best-practice care, and working toward fair policies, protections and support for practitioners.
Trust
As the peak PAT body, AMAPP integrates research into real-world practice, balancing potential and risk. We advance the field with scientific rigour, wisdom and openness, free from stigma, to earn the trust of members, clients, the sector and the wider community.

Member Voices
In their own words
Ella Shannon
Counsellor
I have loved being a member of AMAPP... I have attended some peer supervision and webinars presented by AMAPP, and have found everyone to be so welcoming, supportive and inclusive across disciplines, there was no feeling of being 'just a counsellor'. Huge gratitude to all the volunteers for their tireless efforts.

As a psychedelic-assisted therapist and naturopath, being a member of AMAPP has been an incredibly enriching experience. The community provides an inclusive and supportive environment that bridges diverse disciplines... AMAPP's peer supervision sessions and webinars have been invaluable for deepening my understanding and offering practical insights that enhance my practice.
