The rules

Key rules in Australia

Plain-language summary. The regulator is Queensland Health — prescribing medicinal cannabis.

  • Possession (no prescription)

    Illegal in all states and the Northern Territory; penalties and diversion schemes vary by state. The ACT allows adults limited personal possession (see below).

  • Prescribed cannabis

    Legal when prescribed by a doctor through the TGA Special Access Scheme or Authorised Prescriber pathway and dispensed by a pharmacy. Only Epidyolex and Sativex are registered medicines.

  • ACT personal use

    Since January 31, 2020 adults 18+ in the ACT may possess up to 50 g dried (150 g fresh) and grow 2 plants per person, 4 per household. Sale, supply and public use remain offenses; Commonwealth law is unchanged.

  • Home grow

    Illegal everywhere except the limited ACT allowance; a prescription does not permit cultivation. Commercial cultivation requires Office of Drug Control licences.

  • Public use

    Illegal. Even in the ACT, using cannabis in public or near anyone under 18 is an offense.

  • Driving

    Roadside tests detect THC regardless of prescription. Tasmania has a medical defence since 2017; Victoria's magistrates have had licence-loss discretion for some patients since March 2025; NSW passed a registration-based reform on September 17, 2026, not yet in force.

  • Advertising

    Advertising prescription medicines, including medicinal cannabis, to the public is prohibited under the Therapeutic Goods Act; the TGA issues fines and brings court cases.

  • CBD products

    Low-dose CBD (up to 150 mg a day, adults) was down-scheduled to pharmacist-only in 2021, but no product had been approved for that route by 2026; other CBD requires a prescription.

  • Age

    No statutory minimum for prescriptions, but Medical Board guidance (July 2025) says doctors should avoid prescribing to patients under 18; most clinics accept adults only. ACT personal-use rules apply to 18+.

Summary, not legal advice — rules change; check local law. Last reviewed Sep 2026.

Who may write the script?

Under section 50 of the Medicines and Poisons Act 2019, a doctor or nurse practitioner holding a TGA Special Access Scheme or Authorised Prescriber approval may prescribe an unapproved cannabis product under that approval, and nothing more is needed from Queensland, according to Queensland Health. Pharmacists may dispense only against a script lawful in the state and must store Schedule 8 items securely. Queensland Health's 2025-26 action plan was written in response to issues raised by pharmacists, prescribers and other stakeholders. Rules for the state are on the Queensland page, and the access guide covers costs.

Cannabis in Brisbane: questions

Do I need a Queensland-specific approval to be prescribed?

No, for an approved TGA pathway. Queensland Health says a practitioner with a Special Access or Authorised Prescriber approval needs no further state permission.

Are the three Brisbane clinics all telehealth?

The Cann I Help and PLNTD profiles describe telehealth; Releaf describes a clinic-and-dispensary chain with physical sites.
