“This production run has been released and approved for import, allowing Optimi to continue supplying MD-MA and psilo into Australia’s regulated healthcare system,” said Dane Stevens, Chief Executive Officer of Optimi Health. “Completing this first production cycle of 2026 positions us to expand access across the country for patients suffering from PTSD and TRD.”
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) represent significant unmet medical needs in Australia. National data published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics indicate that approximately 5-6% of Australians experience PTSD in a given year, representing roughly 1.3 to 1.5 million people. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, more than 1.3 million Australians are affected by depressive disorders, and clinical research suggests that around one-third of individuals with major depressive disorder do not respond adequately to standard treatments.
