Medical Cannabis: Information & Consultations

Are you considering medical cannabis? It’s crucial to be well informed. At HealthMint Croydon, we offer consultations to help you navigate this complex area.

What we offer:

Evidence-Based Information: We’ll discuss the current state of research and evidence regarding medical cannabis for your specific condition, including its potential benefits and limitations. We’ll help you understand what is currently known and what is still under investigation.

Thorough Assessment: We’ll review your medical history, current treatments, and symptoms to determine if exploring medical cannabis is appropriate after other suitable treatments have been considered. We’ll emphasise the importance of trying conventional therapies first.

Guidance on Access Pathways: We’ll explain the legal pathways for accessing medical cannabis in Australia, including the TGA’s Special Access Scheme (SAS). We will provide information on how to access these pathways.

Emphasis on Safety: Your safety is our priority. We’ll discuss potential risks, side effects, and drug interactions and emphasise the importance of careful consideration and monitoring.

TGA Compliance: We adhere to all relevant TGA guidelines and regulations.

Important considerations:

Medical cannabis is generally not a first-line treatment.
The evidence base for medical cannabis is still developing.
Potential side effects and risks exist

Medicinal Cannabis

Our clinic offers appointments with Dr Somayeh Mohaghegh who is authorised to assess patients for suitability for medicinal cannabis treatment, where clinically appropriate and in accordance with current Australian laws and regulations.

Medicinal cannabis is available in Australia under strict guidelines, and prescribing requires consideration of individual patient circumstances, a comprehensive assessment, and, where necessary, approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and relevant state health departments.

If you would like to discuss medicinal cannabis as a potential option, please book an assessment appointment through our website or with one of our wonderful Healthcare Concierge team.
A referral or pre-approval is not required, but please be aware that not all patients will be eligible, and eligibility will be determined based on clinical need and regulatory criteria.

How much does the appointment cost?

The independent doctors that consult at HealthMint charge a gap of $371.30 for the 45 minute Initial Assessment appointment and a gap of $277.05 for 30 minute on-going Management appointments.

A Medicare card is required to make a booking for these appointment types.
