CannaTelehealth is brand agnostic and does not supply or sell medication. Our fees relate only to the healthcare services provided. Prescription costs vary significantly depending on your condition and the therapy recommended. As the TGA restricts the publication of product names and prices, your telehealth doctor will discuss any prescribed medication during your consultation, including potential RRP, so you are fully informed before proceeding.
We will send your prescriptions to KarmaPharma, our trusted national pharmacy partner specialising in alternative healthcare dispensing. KarmaPharma never charges above RRP, sources stock for next-day delivery whenever possible, and provides all required regulatory paperwork. The pharmacy will invoice you directly for your medication and any delivery fees.

An Authorised Prescriber is a doctor who has been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration to prescribe certain unapproved therapeutic goods, such as specific medical cannabis products, to patients who may benefit from them.

While medicinal cannabis is legal in Australia, it is still highly regulated. The TGA has not yet approved it for general use, meaning that you must visit a doctor who is trained in the prescription of medicinal cannabis. They will apply for permission to allow you to use medicinal cannabis, and organise to have it prescribed and sent to you.
All of our doctors are trained in the prescription of medicinal cannabis, and you can follow our simple four-step process to access medicinal cannabis.
1. Check eligibility (attach booking form link)
2. Book appointment
3. Wait for approval
4. Receive your medicinal cannabis at your door.
It is important to note the difference between recreational cannabis and medicinal cannabis. Recreational, unregulated cannabis remains illegal in Australia, but regulated, medicinal cannabis was legalised across Australia in 2016.
The specific rules and regulations about prescribing and accessing medicinal cannabis still vary state by state, and its use is highly regulated by the TGA. That is why doctors must have specific training in the prescription of medicinal cannabis to become an authorised prescriber.
Telehealth or telemedicine, is the delivery of healthcare services, such as patient education, medical care, health information, and other services, via digital and telecommunications technologies. Telehealth can be achieved through a variety of technologies, including mobile health apps, video and phone consultations and remote monitoring. Virtual consultations between a doctor and patient should be secure, private and easy to book online.
Telehealth refers to a consultation with a medical professional that you can do remotely via the phone or the internet. The popularity of telehealth is increasing, as it provides access to specialised services Australia-wide, and provides an essential service without requiring a face-to-face appointment.
As an established and experienced telehealth provider, we conduct all of our telehealth sessions via a secure program. You will be able to arrange for an online appointment – but apart from that, your experience will be just like seeing a GP in person.
CannaTelehealth uses the software OnePhenix which has been specifically designed for the Medicinal Cannabis prescribers market. This allows the patient a one stop shop for all patient needs.
We provide you with the option to choose if you wish to have a video or telephone only consultation. If you do want a video consultation please either use your mobile phone camera and connect to the link provided or a webcam through your computer.
This is entirely up to you. We will not force you to have a video consultation. Having an online doctors consultation is easy with CannaTelehealth. Should you have problems with technology please revert to the phone consultation or call our friendly care team on 07 3053 5325.
Since 2016, medical cannabis has been legal in Australia. Nevertheless, the laws governing its prescription, use, and accessibility vary from state to state in Australia. In a number countries, such as Australia, Canada, UK, and certain states in the US that allow access to medicinal marijuana in specific circumstances, most commonly when other treatments have failed, it is legal. The Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia regulates the use of medicinal cannabis. All applications must be approved by TGA. Only your doctor may apply to the TGA for medicinal cannabis.
Check the laws around accessing medical cannabis in your state by visiting: https://www.tga.gov.au/how-we-regulate/ingredients-and-scheduling-medicines-and-chemicals/poisons-standard-and-scheduling-medicines-and-chemicals/scheduling/contacts-stateterritory-medicines-poisons-regulation-units
The Authorised Prescriber Scheme allows authorised medical practitioners to prescribe medicines, medical devices or biologicals that are not included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods to a class of patients with a particular medical condition.
The final decision may come down to the TGA for your eligibility your current medication state based prescribed and dispensed medications.
If you have a consultation with a Nurse Practitioner you will not have to pay an out of pocket cost if you have an eligible Medicare card. However if you speak to a doctor you will need to pay for the initial online telehealth consultation. There is not guarantee that you will be eligible for a consultation therefore you will need to pay for each consultation.

Side effects of medicinal cannabis (both CBD and THC), include vertigo, nausea, vomiting, fever, increased or decreased appetite, dry mouth and diarrhoea.
Conditions that medicinal cannabis can be prescribed for https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/all/medicinal-cannabis/treatment
severe muscular spasms and other symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
some types of epilepsy with severe seizures.
palliative care (cachexia, nausea and vomiting, pain)
some types of chronic non-cancer pain.
Your previous medical history and medications currently taken. Make a note on what has worked in the past and what has not been successful so the doctor is able to make a considered decision.
Medicinal cannabis and recreational cannabis are both created by extracting chemicals from the cannabis Sativa plant for consumption, however, it is important not to confuse the two.
Medicinal cannabis is carefully created just like any other medicine, to ensure that it abides by strict standards of quality control, safety, and dosages of active ingredients. The usage of medicinal cannabis is carefully monitored by doctors with training in the endocannabinoid system in the body. In comparison, recreational cannabis is not created by qualified professionals and has unquantified amounts of active ingredients – it may be too weak or too strong. It can also contain harmful impurities and other chemicals that pose a risk to you.
This is why it is essential to consult with a medical professional if you are considering medicinal cannabis as a treatment, to ensure the best chances of success.
Another key difference is that medicinal cannabis is often prescribed without the ‘high’ that occurs from recreational cannabis, allowing you to experience fewer side effects.
The highest Australian standards of quality and safety are required for all legal medicinal cannabis products. Cannabinoid (e.g. THC, CBD, contamination, pesticides, and toxins are all tested. Knowing what is in the product you are using to treat a medical condition and what dosage to take can be a huge difference for your health.

It is best to consult your online resources for this. https://www.medicinalcannabis.nsw.gov.au/patients/travel
It is best to consult the research on this. There are definitely side effects you should consider. https://adf.org.au/drug-facts/medicinal-cannabis/
Many medicinal cannabis products include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive ingredient in medicinal cannabis. There is a wide range of evidence which clearly shows that THC makes drivers much less safe, meaning that people who are taking medicinal cannabis containing THC should not drive or operate heavy machinery. There is currently no research identifying a ‘safe’ dose to drive on – exposure to products containing THC can significantly increase the risk of a car crash – even if drivers don’t feel impaired.
