What is medicinal cannabis?
Medicinal cannabis products use the cannabis plant to treat physical and psychological conditions. These products contain THC or CBD.
THC has a psychoactive effect and may produce a 'high' when used. CBD does not have a psychoactive effect.
Medicinal cannabis is available in many forms including pills, oils, sprays, and the traditional flower that can be vaporised and inhaled.
What is it used for?
In Australia, the TGA has approved use of medicinal cannabis for a number of conditions including (but not limited to):
- Chronic Pain
- Depression
- Anxiety
- ADHD
- PTSD
- Migraines
- Insomnia

Am I eligible?
To prescribe you Medicinal cannabis a doctor needs to submit an application to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) . The main criteria is as follows:
- You have a health condition that has lasted more than 3 months.
- You've tried unsuccessfully to treat this condition via other means.
While these factors indicate you may be eligible they don't guarantee approval. For example, if you take medications that interact negatively with cannabis it may be deemed unsuitable for you.
Candor provides a free screening before your initial consultation that will help determine your eligibility.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the online visit?
The initial online consultation is completely $19. You'll only pay for the price of your treatment if you choose to go ahead with your treatment plan.
What treatments do you offer?
We offer treatments to prevent or control outbreaks of genital herpes. Australian law prevents us from naming specific treatments until you have had a consultation with a Candor GP.
Do the treatments work?
There are a number of medication options available for skin conditions. Based on your responses your Candor GP can help prescribe the right treatment for you. Treatments are based on best available evidence and individual results may vary. If you don’t feel it’s working - let us know!
What about side effects?
We will provide comprehensive information on possible side effects and we require that you review this and consent prior to shipping your medication. If you have any questions you are welcome to discuss these with your Candor GP after you have completed the online assessment.
How much does it cost?
Prices for treatment plans vary depending on the medication selected and frequency of refills. This means we are unable to provide an accurate price until your Candor GP has assessed your situation and provided a treatment plan. Generally you can expect to pay $19 for medication that treats outbreaks and $33 for medication that prevents outbreaks.
Can you treat my first herpes outbreak?
No. To ensure we’re treating the right condition in the most appropriate way, we require you to have seen a doctor in person to get a diagnosis. This often involves a swab of the lesions to determine if you have HSV 1 or 2. The first outbreak of herpes can be quite painful and debilitating. There are medications that can help and we encourage you to seek medical care early as the sooner it is treated the more effective they are.
