Our mission is to create a trusted and ethical space for Psychedelic Assisted Treatment (PAT)  practitioners to thrive. 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. 

1. Peer Support

Through mentorship, leadership, and a strong foundation of  support, this network fosters resilience, ethical practice, and innovation, strengthening the field  for both practitioners and society. 

● Professional Peer Network – Co-create a thriving, multidisciplinary community that  values both professional expertise and lived experience in the field of PAT. Through  networking forums, peer-led discussions, and collaborative events, this network  facilitates knowledge exchange, mutual support, and innovation. 

● Member Services – Advance the professional development, ethical practice, resilience  and well-being of PAT practitioners through training, tools, health resources,  consultations, and access to exclusive offers and discounts on global programs, to  support a sustainable and healthy PAT field. 

● Leadership - Provide members with access to affordable, credentialed and experienced  PAT mentors and specialist group supervision to support professional growth and foster  the ongoing development of the PAT field. 

2. Advocacy 

We advocate for equitable, safe, and ethical PAT by promoting awareness, access, and harm  reduction for the community, supporting client rights to best-practice care, and ensuring fair  policies, protections, and support for practitioners. 

● Community - Awareness of and access to effective evidence-based PAT options, harm  reduction strategies and diverse medicine cultural contexts to promote informed  responsible engagement.

● Clients - Advocate for the rights of PAT clients to receive care that is safe, equitable,  inclusive and supported by best practice.

3. Trust 

As the peak PAT body, AMAPP integrates research into real-world practice, balancing potential  and risk. With courage, we advance PAT with scientific rigour, wisdom, and openness, free from  stigma, to instil trust in our members, clients, sector, and the wider community. 

● Integrity - to provide recognition of PAT practitioners who embody standards of safety,  integrity and inclusivity through a credentialing process and public-facing record of  practitioners. 

● Peak Industry Standard - collaboration with Australian and global experts to ensure  AMAPP is the peak Australian voice for integrating psychedelic research and related  research outcomes into real-world practice and assisting the field of PAT to navigate the  enormous potential whilst honestly addressing risk. 

● Courage - to create a culture of health where all novel treatments are explored with  open, objective minds and scientific rigour, selected with wisdom and professionalism,  and employed without stigma and shame.  

AMAPP moves forward with open minds and courageous hearts.
