Short answer: CA Clinics, short for Cannabis Access Clinics, is a telehealth medical-cannabis clinic — not a shop. You book a consultation, a doctor assesses you, and if you are eligible a prescription follows. So if you are in Perth and you specifically want over-the-counter CBD oil you can simply buy — no consultation, no script — that is a different thing entirely. For that, there is CBD Oil Perth, an online CBD oil shop delivering across Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Joondalup, Bunbury, Western Australia and the rest of WA.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Perth is a separate Australian shop that sells its own range of over-the-counter CBD oil — it is not CA Clinics, is not affiliated with it, and is not a medical-cannabis clinic or a prescriber. The two are simply different routes, and the rest of this page sets out how each one works. You can see CA Clinics' own information on its official site.
How CA Clinics works
CA Clinics is one of the older and larger medical-cannabis clinic networks in Australia. It was established in 2018, began in Sydney and went on to operate Australia-wide through telehealth, so an eligible patient can be connected to a doctor regardless of where they live. Consultations are held by telephone or video call rather than in person.
The model is consultation-led. You book a screening, a doctor reviews your history and circumstances, and a prescription is issued only if it is considered clinically appropriate for you — it is not guaranteed. According to the clinic's published pricing, an initial consultation is $49 and a review consultation is $39, with a repeat or script change at $29; consultations are free for DVA card holders, and the clinic notes that Medicare or DVA subsidies may apply for some services and eligible patients. CA Clinics states that it does not charge for products or medication itself, because it does not dispense them. It was also the first medicinal-cannabis clinic in the country to run a Rural and Remote program, working with local pharmacies in country and regional towns, and it is associated with cannabis research through a partnership with Applied Cannabis Research. In short, it is a clinic — a route to a prescription — rather than a storefront you buy from directly. That is the key thing to understand before comparing it with an over-the-counter shop.
Prescription medical cannabis vs over-the-counter CBD oil
This is the part worth being clear about, because the two are easy to confuse. What a clinic like CA Clinics arranges is prescription medical cannabis: a doctor assesses you and, if appropriate, prescribes a product — which can include THC — supplied under that script, with medical oversight. Over-the-counter CBD oil is a different category altogether.
In 2021 the Therapeutic Goods Administration down-scheduled low-dose cannabidiol (up to 150mg a day) to a pharmacist-only medicine, and hemp-derived CBD oil is also sold online as a composition-described product you buy without a consultation. The two are not substitutes for one another — they are separate routes with separate rules, and neither replaces the other. We do not position our shop as a stand-in for medical advice or a prescription; a clinic is the route for that. We simply sell over-the-counter CBD oil to people in Perth who want that specific product. The current framework is set out on the TGA website.
Buying over-the-counter CBD oil in Perth
CBD Oil Perth is an online CBD oil shop set up for Perth — no clinic, no consultation, no script. We describe every oil by what is in it, never by what it might do, and post across Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Joondalup, Bunbury, Western Australia and the rest of WA in plain Australian dollars. If you want the whole-plant profile, our full-spectrum CBD oil keeps the legal trace of THC (under 0.3%); if you would rather none at all, our broad-spectrum CBD oil removes it.
Beyond cannabidiol there are two single-cannabinoid oils — a CBG oil, which is cannabigerol, and a THC-free CBN oil, a cannabinol isolate — plus a pet CBD oil made for animals rather than people. Each is hemp extract in a coconut-derived MCT carrier, in a 50ml bottle, third-party lab-tested by batch with a Certificate of Analysis on request, and priced from $89.95. Our oils are imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam and held for dispatch here in Australia. You can browse the whole range and prices for Perth in one place.
From our CBD oil range
CBN Oil 1000mg – Cannabinol
Cannabinol — the cannabinoid that forms as raw hemp ages. 1000mg of CBN isolate in 50ml of MCT oil (20mg per ml). A common choice for evening routines among people already familiar with CBD.
Pet CBD Oil 2000mg – Full Spectrum
Pet-formulated CBD oil — same hemp source as our human range, neutral MCT carrier, no human-targeted flavours or sweeteners. 2000mg in 50ml of MCT oil (40mg per ml). Best introduced under guidance from your vet.
CBG Oil 12000mg – Cannabigerol
Cannabigerol — the cannabinoid the hemp plant uses to make the others as it grows. Less abundant than CBD, which is why CBG oils sit at a different price point. 12000mg in 50ml of MCT carrier (240mg per ml).
What to weigh before you compare
A clinic and a shop answer different questions, so the comparison is really about which route you are after:
- A clinic (CA Clinics) — you want a doctor to assess you and, if suitable, prescribe; that can include THC products and ongoing medical oversight. It starts with a consultation and an eligibility check.
- An over-the-counter shop (CBD Oil Perth) — you want to buy hemp-derived CBD oil directly, described by spectrum, milligrams and carrier oil, without a consultation. It starts and ends with the product.
Neither replaces the other, and the clinic route is the one to take if what you want is a medical assessment. If it is the over-the-counter product you are after, the guide to using CBD oil explains how to read a label and measure a serving.
Common questions about CA Clinics and CBD oil in Perth
Is CA Clinics a shop? No. It is a telehealth medical-cannabis clinic that arranges prescriptions after a consultation. You do not buy from it over the counter the way you would from an online CBD oil shop.
Do I need a prescription to buy CBD oil in Perth? Not for over-the-counter, hemp-derived CBD oil from a shop such as CBD Oil Perth. A clinic route like CA Clinics is for prescription products, which is a separate pathway with a doctor and a script.
What is the difference from CBD Oil Perth? CA Clinics is a clinic — consultation, doctor, prescription, and products that can include THC. CBD Oil Perth is an over-the-counter CBD oil shop: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, CBG, CBN and pet oils, bought directly and shipped across WA to Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Joondalup, Bunbury, Western Australia.
How much does CA Clinics cost? Per its published pricing, an initial consultation is $49, a review is $39, and a repeat or script change is $29, with consultations free for DVA card holders and possible Medicare or DVA subsidies for eligible patients; the clinic does not charge for products itself. CBD Oil Perth works differently — there is no consultation and no plan, so you pay only for the CBD oil itself, with every price shown in Australian dollars on the shop page.
Is CBD oil legal in WA? Yes, within the national framework: low-dose cannabidiol is pharmacist-only, and other or higher-strength products sit behind a prescription. We describe our oils by composition only and make no health claims; the rules are on the TGA website.
Where can I buy over-the-counter CBD oil in Perth? Online, from an Australian shop such as CBD Oil Perth — you can see the full range and prices for Perth and WA together.
If you are looking for a clinic and a medical assessment, that is what CA Clinics is for. But if you simply want to buy over-the-counter CBD oil in Perth — described plainly and shipped from within Australia — browse the full CBD oil range, real and lab-tested, delivered across WA.
