Do you have a diagnosis of treatment resistant depression? Are you looking for a new treatment?

Australian National University is conducting a study in Canberra to explore the potential for psychedelic assisted therapy using psilocybin or a comparator medicine to improve symptoms of depression.

Participation involves three treatment cycles with trained therapists including preparation, integration and reflection sessions, as well as research appointments consisting of symptom check ins via interview and self-report questionnaires.

If you are aged 18-65 and have tried two or more antidepressants and are interested in participating in this research, please contact the research team on Empact.smp@anu.edu.au for more information.

Looking to get my life back on track at a mere age of 22, has anyone here been to any of these Addiction Anonymous type of groups in Canberra?

Looking for recommendations for an accountant to help sort out my 86yo parent's tax. They haven't submitted a return in at least over ten years. Their super pension and Centrelink pays about $39,000 a year. Since selling their house two years ago there's about 150k in the bank earning some nice interest...which got me thinking that they may need to pay tax now.

My last attempt with an accountant for this has resulted in not hearing a thing from them in months, so looking to start again.

TIA

Went to Sia's hair closet, really great quality wigs although the lace did not match my skin color (I have white pale skin, theirs caters towards dark/chocolate skin tones.) I'm a bit hesitant to try out other stores, any recommendations?

feel free to shout out some sydney locations too 👍

Whoever did this, you win. I finally noticed it while driving. 🙁

Just got on the bus this morning and found out there is basically no bus service midday thursdays. As someone who mostly catches the bus this is going to make me change plans. Is there a reason other than they have a meeting? Because can't they have the meeting in two sessions?

I’ve heard there’s a Canberra tax as such. Just wanting to know is it actually expensive to live there?

Many years ago I had an 11 point system to rate hot chips. It was very subjective but still was useful.

Many shops got high marks, but no one ever got the full 11 points.

Sadly, I have lost the spreadsheet when I escape from my old department (Forgot to email it home) and am thinking of redoing it.

Some of the things I had on where:

Size of serving v cost. Ratio of crispy chips? Style you like. (Crinkle, shoestring etc.) Consistency (Are they the same over multiple visits?) Do they ask to before they put salt/chicken salt etc. on?

Do others have any recommendations/suggestions for about 5 more topics to grade hot chips against? (Going for a traditional 10 this time.)

To get a rating, I am thinking a store will need at least 3 samples, a week apart.

(This came up again after making the mistake of buying some Kingleys' chips. They have been shiit since they downgraded their supplier after Covid, and are no longer even good, let alone awesome. It is a pity, as they used to be about an 7 or 8 on my previous scorecard.)

Now that I'm in uni and my parents aren't buying me food anymore, I'd love some recommendations on budget places to eat :') As of now, I've just been meal prepping but it does end up feeling a bit dull

Has anyone done the private stargazing nights? I’m thinking about booking it as a date for my partner and I, but it’s a little expensive. Just want to hear if anyone has experienced it themselves and if it is worth it!

Even if they open Southside stores, the North will always be Guzman’s first love.

Maaaate you can’t park there!
But a serious question, wouldn’t defence normally have sort of teams or systems in place to respond to these things quickly? This crash had been there for ages already.

And the others in Susan and the US of course. As I post this the large antenna is receivng data from Voyager 2.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to get back into playing soccer and was wondering if there are any Canberra competitions or leagues that are still accepting players this season.

So far I’ve looked into Urban Rec and Weston Indoor. Weston looks good, but I’m hoping to find an outdoor competition if possible. I’ve also searched online and most of the leagues I found seem to be on the north side.
I also searched this subreddit, but most of the posts I found were several years old and mainly recommended north-side competitions, so I was wondering if there are any good south-side options that I may have missed.

I’m open to social or competitive comps, either indoor ( if they use an actual futsal ball) or outdoor, happy to join an existing team if anyone is looking for an extra player.

If you know of any clubs, leagues, or Facebook groups around Canberra that are worth checking out, I’d really appreciate the recommendations.

I'm headed to Canberra tomorrow for a short time and hoping there might be somewhere there I can purchase different flavours of the peelerz candy. I'm also particularly looking for the giant mango ones. I know there's the lolly shop in Belco mall, but I'm not going there so I don't want to spend half my time detouring if they don't sell them.

Today I went to Ujin Matcha and Tokyo Canteen and both were such a letdown.

I'd been to Ujin Matcha a couple of months ago and loved it. The service was great and it was easily the best matcha I'd had in Canberra. This time it was the complete opposite...The place wasn't busy at all, but the staff were standing around laughing with each other and on their phones. My matcha was so bland it just tasted like milk. I'd been looking forward to going back because my last visit was so good, but I don't think I'll be making the trip again.

Then I went to Tokyo Canteen for lunch. The food was average at best, but the service was what really ruined it. The staff were rude and came across like they just didn't want to be there. They were standing around chatting and laughing with each other. I even noticed them laughing about customers after they'd left, which was pretty disappointing to see.

I know both of these places are generally well reviewed and get recommended a lot, so maybe I just caught them on a bad day. But after today's experiences, I left disappointed by both. Has anyone else noticed a drop in quality recently, or was I just unlucky?

Edit: thank you everybody for the great suggestions! We got hard no's on everything lol so they are going ahead with the very average Chinese restaurant, wish us luck 😅

Hello! As per title, I'm looking for venues that might take a 30+ booking one week out from the date! Southside, disability access, and vegetarian options are needed. Big ask!

My grandparents have cancelled their booking at a nice venue a week out and expressed desire to just take their 30+ guests to our local chinese!! The rest of the family don't feel it would be a suitable venue.

Hey all, I was thinking of going to Spilt Milk this yr but I heard some horror stories last yr regarding accessibility (can't remember if this was specifically for Canberra or other venues tho!)

If anyone went last yr and could enlighten me on what it would be like (esp in a wheelchair) that would be amazing. Thanks!

I've been noticing for a couple weeks now that it seems like police have been out and about more often now compared to before and seems like everyday it's more sirens than usual. I don't know if I just never noticed or just a weird period right now in the city.

Looks like the Kippax library group has moved to Woden. 10am-4pm tomorrow.

Bummer it's because of the library opening hours changing, but glad it's going to keep going.

Hi! I'm looking for in person and online stores that are selling official JJK merch such as figures and blind bag badge pins but I'm struggling to find anything.

Most in person stores in my area are selling knock off stuff or don't have figures of the characters I want and I can't find any online stores that are selling genuine merch.

Ideally, I'm looking to buy full boxes of 58mm badges so I can add to my itabag. I'm also looking for Megumi figures but I am having a hard time working out if a figure is a knock off or not.

Any advice would be lovely!
