Summary
Better Leaf Pty Ltd is an Australian company that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has pursued over alleged unlawful advertising of medicinal cannabis. In May 2024, the TGA issued 11 infringement notices totalling A$171,972, nine of them to Better Leaf and two to an individual, alleging that the company's website and social media promoted medicinal cannabis and referred to serious conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder and epilepsy. On August 4, 2026, the TGA said it had started Federal Court proceedings against Better Leaf, the related company Better Life Aussie Pty Ltd and their sole director, after repeated warnings and infringement notices that were not paid. The regulator alleges advertising on the companies' website, social media and pamphlets at their dispensary business, including implied TGA approval or recommendation and endorsements from current or former health practitioners, and it is seeking declarations and financial penalties. The TGA said it would not comment further while the matter is before the court.
