In some cases, doctors may consider medicinal cannabis for patients experiencing ongoing pain where conventional treatments have not provided relief.
Sleep Difficulties
For patients with persistent sleep problems, medicinal cannabis may be discussed as one option — but only after a full assessment of medical history and treatments.

Clinicians may consider medicinal cannabis in limited circumstances for mood-related symptoms, always following evidence-based guidelines and safety protocols.

FAQ
Find answers to common questions about medical cannabis eligibility, consultations, and prescriptions.
Q1. Is medicinal cannabis legal in Australia?
Yes. Medicinal cannabis is legal in Australia when prescribed by a doctor under the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s (TGA) Special Access or Authorised Prescriber schemes. All prescriptions must comply with federal and state/territory regulations.
Q2. Do I need a referral to book a consultation?
No referral is required. You can book a telehealth consultation directly with one of our AHPRA-registered doctors. During your consult, the doctor will review your medical history and determine if medicinal cannabis is appropriate for your condition.
Q3. What conditions may be considered for medicinal cannabis?
Doctors may consider medicinal cannabis for patients when conventional treatments have not been effective. Conditions sometimes considered include:
-
Chronic pain
-
Sleep difficulties
-
Anxiety or mood disorders
-
Palliative care support
Every case is assessed individually, and treatment decisions are made according to clinical guidelines.
Q4. Can I get a prescription online?
If your doctor determines medicinal cannabis is appropriate, prescriptions can be issued electronically and sent directly to a partner pharmacy. However, approval is always subject to TGA and state/territory requirements.
Q5. How much does a consultation cost?
Consultation fees vary depending on the type and length of the appointment. Please see our booking page for current pricing. Any prescriptions are billed separately through the dispensing pharmacy.
Q6. Can I drive if I am prescribed medicinal cannabis?
Laws vary by state. In Victoria, for example, driving with any amount of THC in your system is still (technically) an offence, even if the THC comes from a prescribed medicinal cannabis product. However, as of 1 March 2025, magistrates have the discretion to decide whether to cancel a driver’s licence for THC presence if you:
-
hold a valid prescription for medicinal cannabis at the time, and
-
were not impaired while driving.
If you’re prescribed a medicinal cannabis product, always check the THC content with your doctor or pharmacist, carry your prescription, and avoid driving if you feel impaired.
Q7. How quickly can I get my prescription after consultation?
Most patients receive their prescription within 24–48 hours once eligibility and documentation are confirmed, and we are working hard to reduce this time frame.
