Short answer: Cannatrek is one of Australia's earliest medical cannabis licence holders — it received a research cultivation licence in Victoria in 2017, built a fully integrated production business, and in June 2026 merged with Little Green Pharma to form a combined Australian medical cannabis group. Its products are prescription-only, accessed through the TGA Special Access Scheme. CBD Oil Australia is a separate online CBD oil shop delivering across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and all of Australia — no prescription required.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Australia is a separate Australian shop that sells its own range of over-the-counter CBD oil — it is not Cannatrek, Cannatrek's official store, or an affiliate. Cannatrek's own products and information are on its official site.
Cannatrek: early mover in Australian medical cannabis
Cannatrek holds a significant place in the history of Australian medical cannabis. It was one of the first companies to receive a research cultivation licence in Australia — issued in Victoria in 2017, when the national regulatory framework for medical cannabis was still being established. That early licence gave Cannatrek a founding position in the sector.
From that starting point, Cannatrek built out a vertically integrated business: cultivation, manufacturing and supply under one company. Its product range covers oils, capsules, tinctures and dried flower — a full suite of medical cannabis formats.
The Chemist Warehouse connection is notable: Cannatrek established an exclusive supply and equity arrangement with Chemist Warehouse on the retail and pharmacy side, meaning Cannatrek products could be dispensed through Chemist Warehouse's pharmacy network where prescriptions were authorised.
The most recent development is the June 2026 merger with Little Green Pharma (LGP), creating a combined Australian medical cannabis group from two established producers.
The Chemist Warehouse arrangement explained
Cannatrek's arrangement with Chemist Warehouse is a dispensing and equity arrangement — not a public over-the-counter sale. Even with Chemist Warehouse involved, Cannatrek's products remain prescription-only under the TGA Special Access Scheme. A patient needs a valid prescription from a healthcare practitioner before a Chemist Warehouse pharmacist can dispense the product. The pharmacy is the dispensing point; the prescription is still required.
This is worth clarifying because "available at Chemist Warehouse" can sound like a standard retail purchase. It is not — the TGA SAS prescription pathway applies regardless of the dispensing pharmacy.
The TGA pathway for Cannatrek products
All Cannatrek products (and those of the merged LGP entity) are accessed through the TGA Special Access Scheme. The pathway:
- A patient raises medical cannabis with their doctor or nurse practitioner.
- The practitioner assesses and, if appropriate, applies to the TGA for SAS authorisation.
- If the TGA approves, the practitioner prescribes and the product is dispensed through an authorised pharmacy.
Full detail on the regulatory framework is on the TGA website.
From our CBD oil range
CBG Oil 1000mg – Cannabigerol
Cannabigerol, the cannabinoid the hemp plant builds the others from as it grows. It occurs in smaller amounts than CBD, which is why CBG oils sit on their own. 1000mg of CBG in a 50ml MCT bottle, 20mg per ml.
CBN Oil 3000mg – Cannabinol
Cannabinol — the compound raw hemp forms with age — as a THC-free isolate. 3000mg of CBN in a 50ml MCT bottle, 60mg per ml. Often chosen for an evening routine by people already using CBD.
Full-Spectrum CBD Oil 12000mg
Our strongest whole-plant CBD oil — cannabidiol with the minor cannabinoids and terpenes from the same press. 12000mg in a 50ml MCT bottle — 240mg per ml — with a trace of THC under 0.3%.

Two routes nationally
Cannatrek and CBD Oil Australia are different types of businesses answering different questions:
- Cannatrek / LGP (prescription route) — vertically integrated medical cannabis producer, early TGA licence holder, oils + capsules + tinctures + dried flower, dispensed through pharmacies including Chemist Warehouse under a valid prescription. Now part of the combined LGP–Cannatrek group. Starts with a healthcare professional.
- CBD Oil Australia (over-the-counter route) — hemp-derived CBD oil described by spectrum, milligrams and carrier oil, bought directly and shipped nationally. No consultation. Starts and ends with the product.
The guide to using CBD oil covers label reading and spectrum selection for the over-the-counter route.
