Who’s Eligible for These Options?
Your eligibility hinges on your health needs. Conditions like ongoing pain, stress, or sleep difficulties might qualify, but a doctor’s assessment is required to confirm.

What Are the Steps to Sign Up?
- Schedule an appointment with a qualified practitioner
- Share your medical history and symptoms

What’s the Cost Like?
Expect to pay $100-$200 for an initial consultation, with ongoing costs varying based on your treatment plan. Medicare doesn’t cover these options, but some private insurers might offer partial rebates.
Is It Legal Across Australia?
Absolutely – as long as it’s prescribed by an authorised practitioner and sourced legally, it complies with national laws overseen by the TGA.
How Long Until I’m Approved?
