The M-Bondi Project

MDMA-Assisted Therapy for Bondi Beach Survivors

Healing PTSD After the Bondi Beach Attack

On December 14, 2025, a terrorist attack at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia killed 15 people, injured dozens more, and left numerous survivors with psychological wounds.

Trauma doesn’t end when the headlines fade. Many survivors – including bystanders, first responders, and bereaved family members – continue to face PTSD, anxiety, nightmares, hypervigilance, grief, and difficulty feeling safe in the world again.

The M-Bondi Patient Support Project, fiscally sponsored by Right to Heal, helps help survivors heal through Australia’s legal MDMA-assisted therapy program.

About the Project

The M-Bondi Project will provide funded access to MDMA-assisted therapy for identified survivors of the Bondi Beach attack who are experiencing PTSD symptoms and who have not responded to standard-of-care treatment.

Eligible patients will receive a treatment course comprising three preparatory sessions, three MDMA-assisted therapy sessions, and nine integration sessions – approximately 40 hours of therapy in total, delivered over approximately 16 weeks.

The project is funded by philanthropic donors from Australia, the United States, and globally. Treatment will be conducted at Tikvah Clinic, Woollahra, Sydney. Data will be collected at the Australian National University (ANU) through the Australian Interventional Pharmacotherapy and Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy
Research Registry (AIPPAP-RR).

About the Medicine

MDMA – or 3,4 methylene dioxymethamphetamine – is a medicine derived from sassafras. Originally created by Merck in 1912, the substance has been used by therapists since the 1960’s to facilitate profound psychological and emotional healing.

Delivered according to the MAPS treatment protocol, MDMA-assisted therapy has demonstrated efficacy in Phase 3 clinical trials, with 67 to 71% of participants no longer meeting PTSD diagnostic criteria following treatment (compared to 32–48% with placebo).
