How getting a medicinal cannabis prescription works in Australia

  1. Talk to a doctor. Start with your regular GP. Your doctor decides what treatment, if any, is suitable.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
