Become an rTMS Provider in Australia in line with new Medicare Item numbers
From 1 November 2021 the highly effective antidepressant treatment Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) was listed on the Medicare Benefits Schedule.
This will benefit thousands of Australians each year needing access to more acute care for treatment-resistant depression and is recognition from the government of the viability and efficacy of TMS therapy, an already widely rebated and proven neurostimulation method globally.

rTMS Course for healthcare professionals in Australia
For psychiatrists and other health care providers interested in becoming providers of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), we offer a two-part course comprising of knowledge assessment, a hands-on skills workshop, and a final evaluation of competency. Upon completion of the course, participants will possess the theoretical knowledge and practical experience required for certification.
Our clinic is recognised as an accredited International Standards Organisation (ISO) provider of outpatient rTMS services and all course or workshop participants will receive a certificate acknowledging their time spend towards Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
The rTMS Certification Course is intended for:
- Psychiatrists
- General Practitioners*
- Nurses*

- Students and Researchers in a related field*
* rTMS can be administered by a trained healthcare professional under the supervision of a Psychiatrist. Please see the RANZCP guidelines for rTMS practice within Australia.
- Part I. Theory (Online)
- Part II. Practical (Sydney or Melbourne)
The course begins with a didactic curriculum of videos and readings covering the fundamentals of rTMS, delivered wholly online using our purpose-built e-Learning system. Participants learn at their own pace from skilled technicians, world-renowned researchers, and experienced clinicians. Multiple choice tests at the end of each module help guide participants’ study and learning. Upon successful completion of this component, participants will have adequate knowledge of:
- Key rTMS theory
- rTMS Safety
- Ethical use of rTMS
- rTMS Case Studies
- Personalisation and Optimisation of rTMS
*We also recommend the online theoretical course to learn if rTMS is the right for your practice, before committing to practical training or a device purchase.
The course continues with an in-person practical training workshop held throughout the year at our training sites in Sydney and Melbourne*. This hands-on workshop provides the opportunity to observe the core techniques of rTMS performed by a skilled technician, and practice these techniques under the supervision of a skilled technician. All training is completed on devices approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. During the workshop, participants will receive practical instruction, the opportunity for practice, and performance feedback in:
- Basic device operation and setting parameters for stimulation
- Proper coil handling
- Identification of stimulation locations
- Assessment of motor thresholds
