Getting Started

Who is Eligible?

Medicinal Cannabis is strictly regulated by the TGA in Australia. It is very complex to navigate the eligibility criteria and the government websites can be difficult to understand.

Medicinal cannabis is considered an ‘unapproved’ medicine by the TGA, and doctors have to apply for special permission from the TGA to prescribe it in certain cases under a Special Access Scheme – or they must undertake training and gain the status of Authorised Prescriber. The TGA states the need for larger, quality studies to further refine eligibility criteria for medicinal cannabis use.

In some cases medicinal cannabis may be prescribed after other medications have been proven to be ineffective. To help you to understand whether or not you are eligible, we have created a simple and easy-to-use Eligibility Tool that will provide you with clarification before you book your first appointment.

During your first appointment, our highly trained doctors will run through a thorough examination of your conditions and medical history in order to make a clinical decision about your suitability for medicinal cannabis usage.

Secure a virtual consultation with a skilled nurse practitioner or doctor. We’ll delve into your medical history, ensuring we comprehend both your condition and lifestyle, to gauge if alternative medicine ​is the right fit for you and devise an optimal treatment plan.

Your doctor will apply to prescribe it?

If your doctor determines that alternative medicine could be beneficial for your condition, they’ll request the TGA’s permission to prescribe it. Upon securing approval, you’ll receive an electronic prescription (escript) while your pharmacy gets a copy of the TGA’s authorisation document.

The pharmacy will process your escript.

Collaborating with specialists in alternative medicine, our pharmacy partners are here to answer all your queries, from product specifics, pricing, and availability to potential side effects. Opting for home delivery? We’ll directly send your escript along with the necessary TGA documentation to the pharmacy. Upon receipt of your prescription, the pharmacy will initiate the setup of an account for you, facilitating payment and order management. With every prescription detail sorted, your medication is promptly dispatched to your doorstep, ensuring you benefit from the best market rates.
