TGA Compliance Policy Statement

TGA Compliance Policy Statement for auscannabishub.com

Last Updated: September 1, 2026

1. Scope & Regulatory Framework

This website (auscannabishub.com) is operated in accordance with Australian Commonwealth legislation governing therapeutic goods, controlled substances, and healthcare advertising. Our digital operations adhere to:

  • The Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth)

  • The Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code (Cth)

  • The Narcotic Drugs Act 1967 (Cth)

  • Guidelines issued by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the Office of Drug Control (ODC)

2. Prohibition of Public Advertising & Promotion

Under Section 42DL of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, it is an offense to advertise prescription-only medicines (Schedule 4 and Schedule 8 substances) directly to the public in Australia.

Accordingly, AusCannabisHub does not:

  • Display public product catalogs containing brand names, pricing, strain information, THC/CBD potency metrics, or stock availability.

  • Provide e-commerce shopping carts, direct ordering mechanisms, or payment gateways on public-facing pages for prescription items.

  • Use promotional terms or colloquially suggestive language (e.g., “buy weed online”, “cheap medical cannabis”, “high-potency plant medicine”).

  • Make claims, express or implied, that any medicine treats specific medical conditions (e.g., chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia).

3. Informational Nature & Educational Scope

All public content available on auscannabishub.com is provided strictly for general educational and health literacy purposes. Content is restricted to:

  • Explaining the legal framework and access pathways established by the TGA (such as the Special Access Scheme (SAS) and Authorised Prescriber Scheme).

  • Providing objective information on how patients may book consultations with registered Australian medical practitioners.

  • Detailing regulatory compliance guidelines for healthcare professionals and licensed industry partners.

4. Unapproved Therapeutic Goods Disclosure

Except for specific products entered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), the vast majority of medicinal cannabis products in Australia are unapproved therapeutic goods.

  • Unapproved goods have not been evaluated by the TGA for safety, quality, or therapeutic efficacy in the same manner as registered medicines.

  • Access to unapproved medicines requires individual clinical justification and statutory authorization by the TGA prior to dispensing.

  • Information provided on this site does not constitute an endorsement, safety guarantee, or representation of product efficacy.

5. Two-Tier Architecture & Restricted Access Portals

To maintain strict compliance with Section 42AA of the Act:

  • Public Tier: Contains only non-promotional, educational content and business contact details.

  • Restricted Member Tier: Technical product specifications, pricing, and ordering portals sit behind a secure, password-protected portal. Access is strictly limited to verified Australian healthcare professionals, licensed wholesale distributors, or patients holding valid, verified Australian prescriptions.

6. Healthcare Practitioner Independence

AusCannabisHub is not a medical practice and does not employ prescribing doctors. Any clinical directory or referral tool provided connects users to independent medical practitioners registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Medical practitioners retain complete clinical independence. Consultations do not guarantee that a prescription for medicinal cannabis will be issued. Prescribing decisions are made solely at the practitioner’s clinical discretion following a comprehensive face-to-face or telehealth consultation.

7. Reporting & Compliance Contact
