OUTLOOK
Emyria is focused on scaling its innovative mental health treatment programs to reach more
patients. With federally approved “hospital substitution” pilot programs well advanced, Emyria will
work closely with private insurers and government payers to refine and expand these initiatives.
These efforts aim to establish sustainable funding models to facilitate the opening of additional
Empax locations, ensuring greater access for patients across Australia to Emyria’s treatments.
Emyria’s commitment to continuous improvement is supported by the collection and analysis of
high-quality, real-world data, ensuring its medication-assisted therapy programs address areas of
high unmet need. These insights help Emyria optimise treatment protocols, enhance patient
outcomes, and strengthen its position as a trusted leader in advanced mental health care.
Emyria’s broader innovation efforts include its MDMA-inspired drug discovery pipeline in
partnership with the University of Western Australia. With a newly formalised commercial licence
agreement, Emyria is advancing proprietary serotonin-releasing agents with the potential to
improve care for PTSD, Parkinson’s disease, and other mental health and neurological conditions.

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.
