How getting a medicinal cannabis prescription works in Australia

Talk to a doctor. Start with your regular GP. Your doctor decides what treatment, if any, is suitable.
The doctor decides. They look at your health history and other treatments you have tried. Medicinal cannabis isn't suitable for everyone, and the decision is theirs.
Approval, when it's needed. Most medicinal cannabis products are not on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), so doctors prescribe them through the TGA's Special Access Scheme – Category B (SAS-B) or as an Authorised Prescriber. Some states and territories add their own steps.
A pharmacy fills the script. Prescriptions are often sent as an eScript (a token by SMS or email). Not every pharmacy keeps medicinal cannabis in stock, so call ahead.

Quick answers

Can any pharmacy fill a medicinal cannabis prescription?

Any community pharmacy can dispense a valid prescription, but many don't keep medicinal cannabis in stock. Call ahead to check they can supply what your doctor prescribed.

Can I buy medicinal cannabis from a chemist without a prescription?

No. Medicinal cannabis products are prescription medicines in Australia, so you need a valid prescription from a doctor.

What is an eScript?

An electronic prescription. Your doctor sends you a token (a QR code) by SMS or email, and the pharmacy scans it to dispense your medicine.

Good to know

Call ahead. Stock changes often and differs between pharmacies, so check they can fill your prescription before you go.
Bring your script. Have your paper prescription or eScript token ready. The pharmacist can answer questions about the medicine your doctor prescribed.
It's a prescription medicine. Medicinal cannabis products are prescription medicines in Australia, and Australian law doesn't allow prescription medicines to be advertised to the public — so we don't name products, prices or "best" lists here.
Driving. In most states and territories it is an offence to drive with THC in your system, even with a prescription. In NSW, new medicinal cannabis driving laws passed in September 2026 but haven't started yet — until they do, driving with THC present is still an offence there too (as at October 2026).
Who regulates it? The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulates medicinal cannabis as a medicine; the Office of Drug Control (ODC) licenses growing and manufacturing. More: TGA vs ODC.
