Tetra Health — Medicinal Cannabis Telehealth Clinic Australia (2026)

Tetra Health is an Australian telehealth clinic specialising in medicinal cannabis prescribing — one of a growing number of digital-first services that have made TGA-authorised cannabis medicine accessible to patients across the country without requiring in-person specialist visits. Named after tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol’s four-carbon structure, Tetra Health has built its service around patient education and clinical quality alongside prescribing efficiency.

What Tetra Health offers

Tetra Health operates as a telehealth medicinal cannabis clinic. The service connects patients with TGA-authorised doctors via secure video consultation — covering initial assessments, TGA applications and ongoing monitoring.

Core services:

• Initial telehealth consultation with a cannabis-experienced GP
• TGA Special Access Scheme B (SAS-B) application processing
• Ongoing prescription management and follow-up
• Nurse-led patient education and support
• Product recommendation guidance based on condition and cannabinoid needs

Tetra Health emphasises clinical rigour — the service is doctor-led with a focus on condition-appropriate prescribing rather than simply approving all patients.

The consultation process

Step 1 — Registration: Create an account on Tetra Health’s platform and complete a medical history questionnaire.

Step 2 — Initial consultation: A 20–30 minute video consultation with a Tetra Health-affiliated GP. The consultation covers your medical history, current medications, condition severity, previous treatments tried, and your goals for cannabis therapy.

Step 3 — TGA application: If the prescriber determines cannabis is appropriate, they submit a TGA SAS-B application immediately following the consultation.

Step 4 — Approval and prescription: TGA SAS-B approvals typically arrive within 24–72 hours. The prescription is then directed to a pharmacy of your choice.

Step 5 — Follow-up: Tetra Health provides ongoing monitoring appointments (typically every 3 months) to review your response, adjust products or doses, and continue TGA approvals.

Who Tetra Health is best for

• Patients in metropolitan and regional areas who prefer video consultation
• Patients with chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD or other conditions where cannabis medicine is well-evidenced
• Patients who want a doctor-led (not nurse-led) consultation experience
• Patients who value clinical education alongside prescribing

Choosing between Tetra Health and other prescribers

Australia’s medicinal cannabis telehealth market has multiple quality providers. Factors to consider when choosing a prescriber:
