When nothing else has worked,
we are here to help
If chronic pain, anxiety, or sleepless nights have left you feeling stuck, medical cannabis may offer a new way forward. Our AHPRA-registered prescribers provide judgement-free assessments and genuine follow-up care - all through a secure telehealth consultation.
Understanding Your Options
A regulated pathway for patients who deserve more options
Living with chronic pain, persistent anxiety, or poor sleep can be exhausting - especially when the treatments you have tried so far have not brought the relief you need. Since 2016, medical cannabis has been a legal treatment option in Australia for patients in exactly this situation, prescribed through the TGA's Special Access Scheme (SAS-B) or by an Authorised Prescriber.
At Velora HealthConnect, we understand that asking about medical cannabis can feel daunting. That is why every consultation is conducted in a compassionate, judgement-free environment. Your AHPRA-registered prescriber will take the time to understand your full medical history, current medications, and personal health goals before any treatment is considered.
What sets us apart is what happens after the prescription. Every patient receives scheduled follow-up appointments, ongoing dosage monitoring, and access to our dedicated support team. We believe proper medical cannabis care means building a genuine, long-term relationship with your healthcare provider - not a one-off consultation.

Your Legal Rights
How the TGA framework protects you
Medical cannabis in Australia is prescribed through well-established regulatory pathways. Understanding how this works can give you confidence that your treatment is completely legitimate.
SAS-B Special Access Scheme
The TGA's Special Access Scheme Category B (SAS-B) allows registered medical practitioners to apply for approval to prescribe medical cannabis on a patient-by-patient basis. Your Velora HealthConnect prescriber manages the entire SAS-B application process, so you do not have to navigate the paperwork yourself.
Authorised Prescriber Pathway
Some of our prescribers hold Authorised Prescriber (AP) status, meaning the TGA has granted them approval to prescribe specific medical cannabis products for defined conditions. This can streamline your access. Your prescriber will recommend whichever pathway - SAS-B or AP - best suits your clinical needs.
Fully Legal & Regulated
With a valid prescription from an AHPRA-registered practitioner, your medical cannabis use is completely legal. All products are sourced from TGA-licensed suppliers and dispensed through authorised pharmacies - giving you the confidence of full regulatory oversight at every step.
We Handle the Paperwork
Navigating TGA applications should not add to your stress. Our clinical team takes care of all regulatory paperwork, approval submissions, and pharmacy coordination on your behalf - so you can focus entirely on your health and recovery.
