Established in 2017, Medical Cannabis Services helps to provide safe and effective access to cannabis. They first started in Canada in 2013 and have since done hundreds of consultation appointments across Australia. They provide compassionate and affordable telehealth services and in person services with 24-hour support, made accessible and simple for the patient’s privacy and convenience.

Patients consulting with Medical Cannabis Services will first undergo a free screening evaluation, after which they provide medical records for assessment and consultation appointment scheduling. A doctor will consult with the patient to discuss treatment plans and submit the patient’s application for medicinal cannabis to the TGA under the Special Access Scheme. Once approved, a prescription will be sent to a nominated pharmacy for the patient to collect and begin treatment.

Medical Cannabis Services can prescribe other forms of medicinal cannabis – patients do not have to smoke cannabis if they prefer otherwise. Medication options like edible oils, oral sprays and gel capsules are available to make dosage safe and simple. Medical cannabis can help treat pain, sleep disorders, anxiety and PTSD among other ailments.

Clinics can be found in Darwin, Perth, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. If a clinic is not immediately accessible or the patient is in a rural area, telehealth services are also available. Patient access to compassionate, efficient health service providers is a priority to them. Up to 95% of applications are approved within 3 days, allowing patients to acquire the medication they need as soon as possible.
