There are tight restrictions around manufacture, supply and use of medicinal cannabis within Australia.

However, laws exist tallow prescribing and dispensing of medicinal cannabis products in specific circumstances. Legal access to medicinal cannabis means getting a prescription from a doctor.
Where appropriate, Balnce doctors can apply to the TGA for access on your behalf and explain why you need this type of medicine.
Most medicinal cannabis products are unapproved, which means the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has not assessed them for safety, quality or effectiveness.
The Australian government, in tandem with the Therapeutic Goods Administration and the states and territories, works to ensure that only safe and reliable medicines are available to be prescribed for treatment.

If your treatment plan includes a prescription, you’ll have the choice to take it to your regular pharmacist or have Balnce organise it for you.
Your Balnce consultant will then call you to see how the treatment is going, whether anything needs changing and to help you book a follow-up consultation if you need to.
Visit the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) website for important patient information relating to medicinal cannabis.
