Medicinal cannabis is carefully regulated, and access is considered on an individual basis. You may be considered for treatment if:
• You have a diagnosed health condition that has lasted for some time
• Other standard treatments haven’t worked well or caused unwanted side effects
• Your healthcare provider feels medicinal cannabis could be an appropriate option
Doctors must follow Australian regulations. In most cases, this means applying to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for approval through the Special Access Scheme (SAS), or prescribing under the Authorised Prescriber (AP) pathway.
