Further Empax Centres planned for the East Coast
Expansion aligns with rising national demand and growing payer interest in
next-generation mental health care
Emyria Limited (ASX: EMD) (“Emyria”, or the “Company”), specialising in the
development and delivery of innovative treatments for mental health and select
neurological conditions, is pleased to announce the official opening of its second
Empax Centre, located within Perth Clinic, one of Western Australia’s leading licensed
private mental health hospitals.
This expansion, which will increase treatment capacity by 50%, is designed to comply
with the requirements of major healthcare funders seeking to cover evidence-based
mental health therapies within licensed healthcare environments.
The first two fully funded patients will commence treatment on April 14, marking the
activation of the site and the start of a broader rollout strategy that reflects both rising
clinical demand and structural changes in mental health care funding.
“We are responding to growing patient demand and the expectations of major health
funders,” said Greg Hutchinson, Executive Chair. “Our expansion into licensed
hospital settings demonstrates Emyria’s capacity to deliver scalable, evidence-based
mental health care treatments.”
Strategic Growth & Durability of Outcomes
The new site comes as Emyria formally launches its second advanced care program—
this time for treatment-resistant depression—in addition to its established PTSD
offering.
Clinical demand continues to accelerate, and early long-term follow-up suggests that
treatment benefits are durable 1 , reinforcing the potential for lasting patient impact
and broader system adoption.

Executive Director and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Winlo, commented: “We are
particularly encouraged by the sustained outcomes we’re seeing in patients at our
primary Empax Centre. As we continue to follow patients longer term, we’re building
valuable real-world data assets in this emerging field — helping us improve our
treatments, inform national care models, and support broader system adoption.”
Positioned for Payer-Backed Growth
The decision to embed Empax Centres within licensed hospital environments reflects
a broader strategy to position Emyria to meet the funding criteria of private insurers
and major payers now preparing to support innovative care models for conditions like
PTSD and treatment-resistant depression.
National Expansion Discussions Underway
Emyria is currently in active discussions with multiple East Coast hospital partners and
clinicians, and is aiming to announce further site openings in 2025. 2
This expansion reflects Emyria’s broader goal: to build a national network of Empax
Centres capable of delivering novel mental health care at scale—supported by payers,
guided by evidence, and focused on lasting impact.
This release has been approved by the Board of Emyria.
