Important Regulatory Information
In Australia, Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP) is legal only in specific circumstances. It requires a formal diagnosis and referral from an authorised psychiatrist, and must be delivered by accredited Clinical Psychologists in accordance with national regulations.
This program is not a medical training. It does not provide instruction in psychedelic medicine dosing, nor does it certify participants to conduct PAP. Ground Up Psychotherapy does not endorse or support any illegal practices.
The purpose of this training is the development of knowledge and therapeutic skill for mental health professionals working in this evolving field. It offers a psychological and relational approach that is complementary to accredited PAP training programs. Our focus is on therapeutic orientation, preparation, integration, and psychotherapeutic understanding.
