Frequently Asked Questions
This all seems confusing, where do I start?
We understand how confusing alternative health treatments can be. Simply put, our process is a three-step method.
Step 1: You undergo a telehealth prescreen with one of our clinical practitioners. Our experienced clinic staff will work with you to obtain a summary of your medical history and answer all your questions along the way. If we determine that alternative plant-based treatments may be suitable for you our patient liaison team will assist you to book in with one of our Authorised Prescribing Doctors
Step 2: If one of our practitioners determines that you may be eligible for our program, they will refer you to our Patient Care team who will contact you to book you in with one of our Authorised Prescribing Doctors.
Step 3: Once you have had your initial doctors appointment, your doctor will determine the most appropriate treatment, and any prescriptions can be sent to one of our partnered pharmacies to be formulated and dispensed. Our treatments are customised for your specific needs.

How do I access tailored alternative treatments?
Alternative treatments are unapproved therapeutic goods in Australia and can only be accessed through specific unapproved product access pathways. These pathways are regulated and administered by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and include the Special Access Scheme (SAS) and the Authorised Prescriber (AP) pathways. Registered health practitioners in Australia, after deeming treatment is clinically appropriate, can utilise these pathways to facilitate access to unapproved products for approved patients.
