Am I eligible?
To prescribe you Medicinal cannabis a doctor needs to submit an application to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) . The main criteria is as follows:
- You have a health condition that has lasted more than 3 months.
- You've tried unsuccessfully to treat this condition via other means.
While these factors indicate you may be eligible they don't guarantee approval. For example, if you take medications that interact negatively with cannabis it may be deemed unsuitable for you.
Candor provides a free screening before your initial consultation that will help determine your eligibility.
