How do I get my prescribed products?
At Cann I Help we work with many different pharmacies across Australia. We work closely with the Cann I Help Dispensary, where you can collect directly from them in Brisbane or they can organise express delivery anywhere in Australia for a fixed fee ($16.50 at the time of writing this). You can opt to choose your own local pharmacy, or select one of our partner pharmacies – many of whom are able to send out medications through express post. Your options will depend on whether you are accessing the
Compassionate Access Program and which State/Territory you live in. Certain states and territories require additional permits which can only be accessed by doctors based in that jurisdiction. Following your GP consultation, we will let you know your options and help you to choose. There will be a $19 administrative fee pre consultation for using an external pharmacy.
