About Brain Save
Brain Save is Newcastle’s largest provider of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), supporting patients across Newcastle, the Hunter, and the northern Central Coast through four dedicated clinic locations.
In addition to TMS, Brain Save offers supervised administration of approved medications for individuals with treatment‑resistant depression where conventional treatments have not been effective. These interventions are delivered by specialist clinicians within a safe and closely monitored medical environment.
In 2026, Brain Save commenced providing Medicine‑Assisted Psychotherapy for suitable patients with treatment‑resistant PTSD and Depression. This service combines structured psychological support with carefully supervised administration of therapeutic medicines to facilitate altered states of consciousness and enhance emotional processing to facilitate clinical improvements.
All treatments are available only following comprehensive psychiatric assessment and are delivered in accordance with Australian regulatory frameworks by trained specialist clinicians.
