How it Works

​

1. Initial Telehealth Appointment
Book your first appointment by selecting ‘Medicinal Cannabis – New Patient’ via the Book Now button or by calling us on (03) 9312 3000.
This is a phone consultation where Dr Ravi will discuss your medical history and whether alternative therapies may be appropriate.

Note: No prescriptions are issued during this initial appointment.

​

2. Assessment and Face-to-Face Visit
If you’re suitable for treatment, Dr Ravi will complete the required checks and paperwork.
You’ll also need to:

• Sign a consent form

• Provide a current health summary from your usual GP (we can help you request this)

• Visit the clinic in person (required once every 12 months if you are not a regular patient at our clinic)

​

3. Prescription
Once all steps are completed—usually within a week—Dr Ravi can issue the prescription via phone.

​

Fees

New Patient Package: $280
This covers the entire process from initial assessment through to prescription.
If you decide not to proceed or aren’t eligible after the first consultation, $200 will be refunded (an $80 assessment fee is retained).

​

Ongoing Care
Follow-up reviews are usually scheduled at 4 weeks, then every 3 months.
These are billed at our standard telehealth rates:

• Medicare rebates apply

• Bulk billing is available for concession card holders (subject to Medicare rules)
