Buying cannabis online in Australia in 2026 is faster and simpler than most people expect — particularly with the expansion of telehealth prescribing. Whether you have an existing medicinal cannabis prescription or are starting from scratch, this guide walks you through every step: from getting a prescription to browsing the catalogue, checking out, and receiving your order at the door.

Do you need a prescription to buy cannabis online in Australia?

For most cannabis products, yes — a valid medicinal cannabis prescription is required. The exceptions are low-dose Schedule 3 CBD products (≤150mg per pack), which pharmacies can dispense without a prescription.

If you don’t yet have a prescription, the good news is that Australian telehealth cannabis clinics make the process fast:

  1. Complete an online intake form (15 minutes)
  2. Video consultation with a registered Australian doctor (15–30 minutes)
  3. TGA Special Access Scheme approval (typically 24–48 hours)
  4. Prescription issued electronically — ready to use immediately

Most patients go from initial enquiry to first order within 3–5 business days.

Step 1 — Browse the catalogue

How to find the right product

Step 2 — Add to cart and check out

Once you’ve found what you want, add to cart and proceed to checkout. You’ll need:

  • Delivery address — a residential or business address where someone 18+ will be available
  • Delivery option — same-day metro or standard tracked nationwide
  • Payment method — bank transfer, PayID, or Bitcoin

Checkout is encrypted end-to-end. We do not store full card details.

Step 3 — Age and prescription verification

Age verification

You must be 18 or older to order. Age is confirmed in two steps:

  1. At checkout — you confirm your date of birth and agree to terms of service
  2. On delivery — you present valid government-issued photo ID (driver’s licence or passport) to the delivery driver

Orders are refused without valid ID — no exceptions, no workarounds.

Prescription verification

For prescription cannabis products, you will be asked to upload your prescription at checkout or provide your prescription number. Products are not dispatched until prescription validity is confirmed.

Step 4 — Order processing and dispatch

After you place your order:

  • Same-day metro orders placed before 2pm are dispatched immediately and typically arrive within 2–6 hours
  • Standard orders are processed same-day and dispatched within 24 hours via tracked post
  • You receive an order confirmation email immediately, followed by a dispatch email with tracking number once your order has left the warehouse

Step 5 — Delivery

Same-day metro delivery

Available in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Darwin for orders placed before 2pm local time (Monday–Friday; weekend availability varies — check at checkout).

Your order arrives in plain, odour-proof, unbranded packaging. Nothing on the outside indicates the contents or sender.

Your driver will:

  1. Ask for photo ID to confirm you are 18+
  2. Hand over the package once ID is verified
  3. If you are unavailable, reschedule — orders cannot be left unattended

Standard nationwide delivery

Fast, tracked post to all other Australian addresses:

  • Metro areas outside same-day zones: 1–2 business days
  • Regional: 2–3 business days
  • Remote/rural: 3–5 business days

  4. Discreet packaging — plain, unbranded, odour-proof packaging confirmed in policy
  5. Encrypted checkout — HTTPS, no full card details stored
