Cannabis Access Clinics (CA Clinics) is one of the longest-established medical cannabis telehealth services in Australia, operating since 2018. It arranges prescription medical cannabis consultations by phone and video, nationally. It is not a shop; it does not sell products. For buyers across Australia, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and the rest of Australia looking for over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil without a consultation, CBD Oil Australia is the direct route — browse the range now.

What CA Clinics is and how it operates nationally
Cannabis Access Clinics — often abbreviated to CA Clinics — started in Sydney in 2018 and has since expanded to serve patients across Australia via telehealth. The model is entirely remote: consultations happen by phone or video, which means there is no physical clinic to travel to regardless of where in Australia you are located.
The clinic is AHPRA-registered and employs doctors and nurse practitioners who can assess patients and, where appropriate, write prescriptions under the TGA's Special Access Scheme (SAS) or Authorised Prescriber (AP) framework. The clinic does not charge for or dispense medication — that is handled by a separate pharmacy.
Pricing structure:
- Initial consultation: $49
- Review consultation: $39
- Repeat/script change appointment: $29
- Free for DVA card holders. Medicare or DVA subsidies may also apply for some eligible patients.
The consult fees cover the appointment only. The cost of any prescribed medication is separate and depends on the specific product prescribed, dispensed through a pharmacy. No fee covers the medication itself within the CA Clinics pricing structure.
CA Clinics was the first Australian medical cannabis clinic to establish a Rural and Remote program — a specific service designed to work with local pharmacies in regional and country areas, reducing the friction of accessing prescription cannabis for patients who are not near metropolitan centres. This is a notable operational feature for buyers in regional **** or outside major cities.
The clinic also holds a research partnership with Applied Cannabis Research, which adds a layer of clinical data collection to its patient interactions.
The Rural and Remote program — why it matters nationally
Most telehealth clinics can reach patients anywhere by phone or video, but the dispensing step — getting a prescribed product to a patient in a remote area — is a separate challenge. CA Clinics' Rural and Remote program specifically addresses this by coordinating with local pharmacies in country and regional areas. For patients in rural parts of **** or elsewhere in Australia, this means the dispensing chain is built out rather than left to chance.
This does not affect the OTC CBD oil route, which ships directly through online retailers. But for buyers in regional areas weighing up the prescription pathway, it is a relevant operational detail.
Prescription medical cannabis vs over-the-counter CBD oil
The two categories need to be clearly separated. Prescription medical cannabis through a clinic like CA Clinics: assessed by a doctor or nurse practitioner, dispensed by a pharmacy, includes ongoing medical oversight, can include THC at prescription-level concentrations. The process starts with a consultation, not a product page.
Over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil: composition-described, available directly without a consultation, characterised by spectrum, milligrams of cannabidiol, carrier oil, and THC content. CBD Oil Australia operates in this category. The TGA website documents both pathways.
Neither pathway substitutes for the other. A telehealth clinic is for patients who want a medical assessment. An online shop is for buyers who want a composition-described product purchased directly.

Common questions about CA Clinics and CBD oil
How does a CA Clinics consultation work? You complete an online intake form, then book a phone or video appointment with an AHPRA-registered doctor or nurse practitioner. An initial consultation costs $49; reviews cost $39; repeat or script-change appointments are $29. DVA card holders consult for free, and Medicare or DVA subsidies may apply for some patients. The consult fee covers the appointment only — medication is priced and dispensed separately via a pharmacy.
Is CA Clinics available across all of Australia? Yes. It operates nationally by phone and video — no physical clinic to attend. Its Rural and Remote program specifically addresses dispensing for patients in regional and country areas.
Do I need a consultation to buy CBD oil? Not for over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil. The consultation pathway through CA Clinics applies to prescription medical cannabis — a different product category. OTC cannabidiol oil from a shop like CBD Oil Australia is purchased directly without any consultation or script.
What does the CA Clinics Rural and Remote program cover? It coordinates with local pharmacies in regional and rural areas so that dispensing is accessible for prescription patients who are not near a metropolitan pharmacy. It is not relevant to the OTC CBD oil route.
What is the difference between CA Clinics and CBD Oil Australia? CA Clinics is a telehealth clinic — consultations, AHPRA-registered doctors, prescriptions, and products dispensed by pharmacies. CBD Oil Australia is an OTC online shop — hemp-derived CBD oil described by composition, purchased directly, shipped to Australia and Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide. Two different purposes, two different regulated routes.
If you are pursuing the prescription pathway, CA Clinics' consultation process and pricing are on its official site. If you want over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil shipped across Australia — tested by batch, no consultation required — the CBD Oil Australia range is available now.
