The name "Australian Access Clinics" sounds like it might be a store you browse — it isn't. It's a phone-based telehealth clinic that organises prescription medical cannabis consultations with doctors, operating entirely by phone and accepting patients from anywhere in Australia including Melbourne. A doctor on the other end of that call decides whether to prescribe; the consultation is the product, not a CBD oil sitting in a cart. For Melbourne buyers who want over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil — no phone call, no prescription — CBD Oil Melbourne is an online shop delivering across Melbourne CBD, Richmond, St Kilda, Brunswick and the rest of Melbourne.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Melbourne is a separate Australian shop with no connection to Australian Access Clinics; it sells its own range of OTC CBD oil. Australian Access Clinics runs its own telehealth service at its official site.
The telehealth model: what it means in practice
Australian Access Clinics operates entirely through phone consultations, which means Melbourne patients do not need to visit a physical clinic. You book a time, a doctor calls you, and the two of you talk through whether a medical cannabis prescription is appropriate for your situation. The clinic reports having helped more than 25,000 patients across Australia through this model.
Knowing what it costs upfront is important. The initial consultation is listed at $99 (advertised as reduced from a standard $150); follow-up consultations are $79. Those fees are for the appointment only — not for any medication. If the doctor prescribes, products are ordered through the clinic's partner dispensary and posted to the patient, with shipping included at the recommended retail price. The total outlay for the prescription route is therefore: consultation fee + ongoing prescription and dispensary costs. A prescription is not guaranteed from the booking — the doctor assesses on the call.
Prescription vs over-the-counter: the key distinction for Melbourne buyers
Two separate CBD pathways exist in Australia, and they work differently:
The prescription pathway (Australian Access Clinics): assessed by a doctor, prescribed if appropriate, products dispensed through the healthcare supply chain. Can include THC-containing products above OTC limits. Involves medical oversight and ongoing consultation fees alongside medication costs.
The over-the-counter pathway (CBD Oil Melbourne): buyers select a hemp-derived CBD oil by composition — spectrum, milligrams, carrier oil — and order directly online. No consultation, no prescription, no consultation fee. The TGA down-scheduled low-dose cannabidiol in 2021; hemp-derived oils are sold online within those OTC limits. The current TGA framework is on the TGA website.
The two pathways serve different needs and do not substitute for each other. CBD Oil Melbourne is not a clinic; we don't assess anyone and we don't prescribe. We sell CBD oil over the counter.

What to weigh when comparing clinic and shop
The comparison is really about which route you need:
- Australian Access Clinics — a phone consultation with a doctor who assesses whether medical cannabis is appropriate; can lead to an Rx covering THC products with medical oversight. Costs include consultation fees plus medication.
- CBD Oil Melbourne — an OTC shop; no consultation needed; starts and ends with buying a hemp-derived CBD oil described by composition. Costs are the product price only.
Neither replaces the other. If you're unsure which route fits, the CBD oil Australia guide covers the OTC vs Rx landscape in detail.
