Eligibility

If you don't have a formally diagnosed chronic ailment, you might not meet the criteria for obtaining medicinal cannabis. It's important to note that there is an exception for patients in palliative care. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has instructed healthcare providers to furnish a clinical rationale when seeking access to "unapproved" medicinal cannabis products. This rationale should encompass the gravity of the patient's condition, including a description of their symptoms and/or diagnosis, along with other clinical justifications. Feel free to get in touch with our welcoming customer support team to explore whether your condition qualifies for consideration.

You might not qualify for medical cannabis until you've tried other medicines first. But sometimes, if you choose not to use regular medicines for your condition, you can still get medical cannabis. The TGA has told doctors they need to give a good reason for using 'unapproved' medical cannabis products. This reason should explain why they didn't use medicines that are approved by the TGA and also talk about the possible good and bad things about using the new medicine that isn't approved, along with other reasons.

You might not qualify for medical cannabis if your current treatment is working well and not causing any bad effects. The TGA has told doctors they need to give a good reason for using 'unapproved' medical cannabis products. This reason should explain why they didn't use medicines that are approved by the TGA and also talk about the possible good and bad things about using the new medicine that isn't approved, along with other reasons. If your current TGA-approved treatment is doing well and not causing problems, it will be hard for the doctor to find a good reason for using a new, unapproved medicine.
