Ordering Cannabis in Australia

There are different channels for ordering medicinal cannabis in Australia.

Patient Use – Pharmacy Orders

Bedrocan cannabis flos and granulate are available in Australia for patient use with a valid SAS prescription. Australian pharmacies may order products online or by contacting the distribution agent Novachem Pty Ltd:

• email: bedrocan@novachem.com.au
• phone: 1800 668 224 or +61 3 84151255

Industrial and Research Use

Orders of medicinal cannabis as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) can be placed directly with the Dutch Office of Medicinal Cannabis (OMC). This government agency is responsible for distribution and export. Therefore, businesses and researchers wishing to use Bedrocan’s products must contact the OMC at all times. Their contact details are available on the OMC website.

An exception is placebo cannabis products, which can be ordered directly from Bedrocan. Please contact us by using the research contact form.

Ordering medicinal cannabis – Importation

After contacting the OMC, interested parties must submit the following documents:

• Two original copies of the import licence from the local authority.
• An accompanying letter describing the amount and type of material required and the purpose for which it will be used.

Once the documents have been received, the OMC will draw up a contract in duplicate, and provide the invoice. After receiving all necessary documents, the OMC will apply for an export licence to the Dutch Healthcare Inspectorate (Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd) based on the import licence previously provided. Once the signed contract has been returned, the OMC can deliver the requested amount of medicinal cannabis.

Please note: there might be changes to the above process, and additional documents may be required. Contact the OMC for the latest information.

Ordering medicinal cannabis – Cost & delivery

Cost

The OMC is the actual vendor of Bedrocan medicinal cannabis products. After Bedrocan delivers manufactured cannabis products to the OMC, the product is irradiated and packaged by other companies contracted by the OMC. The OMC determines the final pricing and provides an invoice. The final price includes the medicinal cannabis costs, application fee for the export permit and shipping costs.

Size

The OMC delivers cannabis API in bulk packages containing 400 grams of plant material, or in 5-gram jars for medical use.

Delivery time

Bedrocan produces its cannabis products regularly. However, before it is possible to estimate the time of delivery, the ordered cannabis needs to be factored into the production schedule. Only then the OMC can estimate an expected date of delivery.

Shipping

The OMC has broad experience with sending cannabis products around the world, and it uses a trusted courier for handling the delivery.
