About medicinal cannabis
Medicinal cannabis products are medicines derived from cannabis plants, including oral liquids, capsules, sprays, and dried herb. These products are regulated as therapeutic goods in Australia.
Most medicinal cannabis products are unapproved therapeutic goods, meaning they are not included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) and have not been assessed by us for safety, quality or effectiveness.
Access requires an exemption, approval, or authority under the Special Access Scheme (SAS), Authorised Prescriber (AP) scheme or through Clinical Trials.
Any medicinal cannabis products that are registered in the ARTG can be lawfully supplied in Australia by the sponsor.
You must meet certain obligations to legally supply therapeutic goods in Australia. This section contains guidance and information specific to unapproved therapeutic goods. You may also have to meet obligations that apply to all products.
