Emyria to Expand Perth Clinic to Meet Growing
Demand and Support National Roll-Out
Funded PTSD treatments and rising patient demand are driving Perth clinic expansion
and underpinning Emyria’s scalable, capital-light expansion strategy.
•
First Medibank-funded patients commence care – PTSD therapy now delivered at
Emyria’s Perth Clinic under Australia’s first private health insurance program for
psychedelic-assisted treatment.
•
Record monthly activity expected – August dosing sessions forecast to exceed the
combined total of the previous four months.
•
Perth Clinic Capacity Expanding – Workforce and infrastructure growth underway to
meet strong patient demand.
•
Brisbane Launch Progressing – Partnership with Avive Health advancing ahead of first
interstate clinic opening.
•
Scalable, Capital Light Model – Empax platform enables repeatable expansion across
Australia.
•
Revenue Growth Accelerating – Medibank-funded treatments and clinic expansion
underpin a growing, recurring revenue base.
Emyria Limited (ASX: EMD) (“Emyria”, or the “Company”) a leader in developing and delivering
innovative mental health treatments, is pleased to outline key developments supporting
national expansion and revenue growth.
First Medibank-Funded Patients Commence Treatment
Following Emyria’s landmark agreement with Medibank Private Ltd (ASX: MPL)1, the first
Medibank-insured patients have now commenced PTSD therapy at the Perth Clinic. This
represents the first time in Australia that psychedelic-assisted care has been delivered under
private health insurance coverage.
Importantly, the agreement with Medibank validates Emyria’s clinical protocols and provides
a scalable reimbursement pathway, significantly reducing the financial barrier for patients
while de-risking revenue for the Company. This milestone demonstrates the commercial
viability of Emyria’s Empax platform and establishes a precedent for future agreements with
other major insurers.
Record Demand Accelerating Patient Activity
Patient and referrer response has been overwhelmingly positive. In August, Emyria expects to
deliver more dosing sessions than in the prior four months combined, underscoring the strong
underlying demand for effective, reimbursed mental health treatments. This rapid uptake
highlights the scalability of the model and suggests significant revenue growth potential as
more clinics come online.

The demand also reflects growing awareness and acceptance among both clinicians and
patients, reinforcing Emyria’s first-mover advantage in an emerging sector with few
competitors. Sustained growth at this level has the potential to support predictable, recurring
revenues and strengthen the Company’s position as the partner of choice for insurers,
hospitals, and regulators.
Perth Clinic Expansion Underway
With availability at the Perth Clinic nearing capacity for the remainder of 2025, Emyria has
commenced targeted workforce recruitment and infrastructure expansion to meet demand
and sustain growth. Additional psychiatrists, therapists, and support staff are being engaged
alongside fit-for-purpose clinical facilities to increase patient throughput.
These investments are capital-light and designed to generate a rapid return by directly
expanding treatment capacity and revenue. The speed at which Perth Clinic has reached
current capacity provides a clear blueprint for future clinic deployments, strengthening
confidence in Emyria’s ability to roll out a scalable national network.
Brisbane Launch Progressing with Avive Health
Emyria is advancing preparations with Avive Health at its Brisbane Hospital site2. This clinic will
represent the Company’s first interstate expansion and marks a significant milestone in
establishing a national network of Empax clinics. By partnering with leading hospitals such as
Avive, Emyria can leverage existing infrastructure and reduce capital requirements while
accelerating time-to-market.
The Brisbane site also provides a template for future partnerships across Eastern Australia and
beyond, supporting a rapid and efficient scale-up strategy. This interstate expansion
underpins the Company’s vision to become Australia’s leading provider of evidence-backed,
insurer-funded mental health care.
Emyria’s Strategic Rationale and National Expansion Vision
Mental health is Australia’s leading chronic health concern3 with conditions like PTSD affecting
approximately 1 in 11 Australians4, disproportionately affecting women, veterans and first
responders. Existing systems are struggling to meet growing demand, creating an urgent and
significant need for more effective, scalable and reimbursed treatment models.
Emyria has developed a clinically validated, data-driven model designed for capital-light,
repeatable expansion. Through the Empax platform, the Company is executing a national
rollout to broaden access and deepen engagement with insurers, hospitals, and regulators, as
demand accelerates following its landmark reimbursement agreement.
Core elements of the strategy include:
•
•
•
•
•
Establishing additional Empax clinics across major metropolitan areas in Eastern
Australia.
Partnering with leading private hospitals to deliver care.
Working with additional health funders to improve affordability and access.
Extending the Empax framework to additional high-need indications, beyond PTSD
and treatment-resistant depression.
Scaling Emyria’s real-world data platform to support health economics, regulatory
engagement, funder-backed expansion, and continuous improvement.

Risks associated with the use of MDMA, MDMA-inspired compounds and psilocybin
All medicines carry risks and specialist prescribers, such as registered psychiatrists, are best placed to assess
the suitability of a new medication against a patient’s individual circumstances and medical history before
proceeding. Adverse effects of MDMA include high blood pressure, increased pulse rate, faintness, and panic
attacks, and in some rare cases it can cause loss of consciousness or trigger seizures. Other side effects include
involuntary jaw clenching, decreased appetite, restless legs, nausea, headache, sweating and muscle/joint
stiffness. Adverse effects of psilocybin can include temporary increase in blood pressure and a raised heart rate.
There may be some risk of psychosis in predisposed individuals. The effects of MDMA and psilocybin are
unlikely at low doses in the treatment regimens used in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy while
appropriately managed in a controlled environment with direct medical supervision. The risk profile of the
MDMA inspired compounds is currently unknown.
The availability of these products is subject to the safety and efficacy of the products being tested through
clinical trials. Emyria makes no representations or warranties as to the safety or efficacy of the products or the
products’ ability (or the ability of its key compounds) to be used in the treatment of indications such as PTSD.
There are currently no approved products containing MDMA, psilocybin or MDMA inspired compounds that
the TGA has evaluated for quality, safety and efficacy.
