Understanding Referral Requirements and Consultation Pathways

Patients frequently ask whether referrals are required before speaking with a healthcare practitioner regarding medicinal cannabis access pathways.

Referral requirements may vary depending on individual circumstances, healthcare providers, and consultation pathways.

Consultations involving medicinal cannabis access pathways are conducted by qualified healthcare practitioners who independently assess patient circumstances.

Assessment outcomes remain subject to practitioner judgement and applicable regulatory requirements.
