Short answer: Montu is Australia's largest medical cannabis company — it imports and supplies prescription medical cannabis products and owns the Alternaleaf telehealth clinic. It is not an over-the-counter shop you browse and buy from. So if you're in Perth and you want over-the-counter CBD oil you can simply order online — no consultation, no prescription — that's a different thing. For that, there's 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 Montu, is not affiliated with it, and is not a medical-cannabis company, clinic or prescriber. Montu's own businesses operate on its official site.
What Montu is
Montu is a Melbourne-based health-technology company, founded in 2019, that has grown into Australia's largest medical cannabis business. It works across the supply chain rather than running a single storefront: it imports and distributes prescription medical cannabis products, and operates a group of connected brands that each handle a different part of the journey from prescriber to patient.
The best-known of those is Alternaleaf, a telehealth clinic Montu owns that arranges prescriptions after a consultation. Alongside it sit Leafio, a wholesale distribution arm that supplies pharmacies; uMeds, the dispensing and pharmacy-fulfilment side; and Saged, which provides accredited education for healthcare professionals. In short, Montu is the company behind the supply and the clinic — a business-to-business importer and distributor with a patient-facing clinic attached — not a shop you walk up to for an over-the-counter purchase. Understanding that is what makes any comparison with an OTC shop meaningful.
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 Montu's ecosystem supplies and prescribes 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're separate routes with separate rules. We don't position our shop as a stand-in for medical advice or a prescription; a doctor 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's 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'd rather none, our broad-spectrum CBD oil removes it.
Beyond cannabidiol there are two single-cannabinoid oils — CBG oil, which is cannabigerol, and a THC-free CBN oil, a cannabinol isolate — plus a pet CBD oil made for animals. 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.

What to weigh before you compare
A prescription ecosystem and a shop answer different questions, so the comparison is really about which route you're after:
- A prescription route (Montu's ecosystem) — you want a doctor to assess you and, if suitable, prescribe; that can include THC products and ongoing medical oversight, supplied and dispensed through the company's clinic and distribution network. It starts with a consultation and a prescription.
- 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 prescription route is the one to take if what you want is a medical assessment. If it's the over-the-counter product you're after, the how-to-use guide explains how to read a CBD oil label and measure a serving.
