Australia, 23rd Oct 2026 – Neuralia TMS, a trailblazing Western Australian provider of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), has published details of its TMS therapy service for people with depression. The clinic network offers consultations and treatment courses at sites that include Como, Kardinya and Armadale.
TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment in which an electromagnetic coil is placed against the scalp. The coil delivers repetitive magnetic pulses to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain involved in mood regulation. The information in this release is general in nature and is not medical advice.
How a Course Is Structured
Neuralia TMS describes TMS as an outpatient treatment that is usually delivered as a course over about four to six weeks. Sessions are held five days a week and each lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. The clinic states that the protocol varies from patient to patient, with some patients needing more sessions than others.
At the first session, the individual stimulation dose is determined, and the clinic states that it may be rechecked during the course. Patients are awake throughout each session and receive no medication during it. The clinic states that patients can drive and resume normal activities afterwards.
“The structure of a TMS course is set out at the start so that patients know what the commitment involves,” said Dr Shanek Wick, Medical Director of Neuralia TMS. “Each patient is assessed individually, and the details of the course are agreed with the treating team.”
Assessment and Eligibility
The care pathway begins with an initial consultation. A TMS mapping session follows, and a follow-up review with the TMS doctor takes place during the course. The clinic also offers a short online check, which is intended to help people decide whether to make an appointment and does not replace a clinical assessment.
Whether TMS is appropriate for an individual is a clinical decision. The clinic states that Medicare coverage applies to patients who meet the depression eligibility criteria, and patients are encouraged to confirm their own eligibility with the clinic. Fees and rebates differ between the consultation, mapping session and treatment sessions.
The clinic’s website lists the fee, the Medicare rebate and any out-of-pocket cost for each type of appointment, including a cancellation fee for appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. The clinic states that eligible Medicare patients have no out-of-pocket fees for standard sessions.
Safety Information
The clinic provides information on side effects. The commonly listed effects are mild to moderate scalp discomfort, headaches, tingling or twitching of the facial muscles, and lightheadedness. The clinic states that these typically lessen over the following sessions. Seizures are described as rare and as occurring only in extreme cases.
Anyone considering TMS is advised to discuss their medical history, current medications and any previous treatment with a doctor before starting. This allows the treating team to assess whether the treatment is suitable and to explain what to expect.
Looking Ahead
Neuralia TMS also offers transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, an at-home neuromodulation therapy, and pharmacogenetic testing. The announcement forms part of the clinic network’s wider information for people who are considering treatment options in Western Australia.
“Patients benefit from having clear and accurate information before they decide on any treatment,” Dr Wick said. “Neuralia TMS expects to continue publishing information about how its services work, so that people can discuss the options with their doctor.”
The clinic network operates across Western Australia, with sites listed in Como, Kardinya, Armadale, West Leederville, Helena Valley and Albany. Some sites operate under separate brand names and websites. People experiencing distress or thoughts of self-harm are advised to contact a doctor or a crisis service such as Lifeline on 13 11 14 rather than wait for an appointment, and to call 000 in an emergency.
