About CA Clinics
A team of professionals, academics and researchers with the knowledge and skills to access and safely treat patients through medical cannabis therapies in conjunction with Australian laws.
The Clinic
CA Clinics manage patients from start to finish for legal treatment of medical cannabis therapies:

- Regulatory approvals
- Ongoing management of progress
- Regular updates with the patient’s general practitioner
A simple Referral (preferred not required) and Medical History from your doctor to CA Clinics will get the ball rolling. We will take care of the rest!
As early innovators of the cannabinoid therapy space in Australia, CA Clinics has built up a wealth of clinical knowledge and experience by consulting with thousands of patients and referring doctors.
We also understand the subtleties of meeting the needs of treating doctors and managing their often vulnerable patients.
