Before the detail, the comparison in one glance. Heyday Medical is a telehealth medical-cannabis clinic: consultation, a doctor's assessment, then a prescription only if you're eligible — and the clinic now trades as Releaf. CBD Oil Canberra is an online CBD oil shop: you choose by composition and buy directly, with no consult and no script. They are two separate routes, not rivals. If it's over-the-counter CBD oil you want in Canberra, we deliver across Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, Woden.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Canberra is a separate Australian shop selling its own range of over-the-counter CBD oil — it is not Heyday Medical, is not affiliated with it, and is not a medical-cannabis clinic or prescriber. Heyday Medical's own service is on its official site, which now redirects to its current Releaf brand.
How Heyday Medical works
Heyday Medical is a 100% Australian-owned, family-inspired clinic, staffed by doctors, mental-health practitioners and nurses with experience in prescription plant medicines. It operates mainly by telehealth across Australia, plus some in-person clinics in Queensland and Victoria. The structure is consult-led throughout: there's a free, no-obligation pre-screening call to start, then a paid consultation in which a doctor reviews your health history and decides whether a prescription is clinically appropriate.
Under the current Releaf brand, the listed pricing is $200 for the initial consultation, $125 for a first review and $88 for ongoing follow-ups, with Medicare rebates available through some doctors subject to availability. The cost of any prescribed medication is separate and varies with the individual plan. So it is, in every sense, a clinic — a route to a prescription — rather than a storefront you buy from. That single fact is what the rest of the comparison rests on.
Prescription medical cannabis vs over-the-counter CBD oil
This is the part to get precisely right, because the two are easily confused. What a clinic like Heyday Medical arranges is prescription medical cannabis: a doctor assesses you and, if appropriate, prescribes a product — which may include THC — dispensed under that script with medical oversight. Over-the-counter CBD oil belongs to a different category.
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 product described by its composition and bought without a consultation. The two are not substitutes for one another; they are separate routes with separate rules, and neither replaces the other. We don't position our shop as a stand-in for medical advice, a consultation or a prescription — the clinic route is for that. We simply sell over-the-counter CBD oil to people in Canberra who want that specific product. The current framework is on the TGA website.
Buying over-the-counter CBD oil in Canberra
CBD Oil Canberra is an online CBD oil shop for Canberra — no clinic, no consult, no script. Every oil is documented by what's in it: the cannabinoid, the spectrum, the milligrams and the carrier. We ship across Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, Woden and the rest of ACT, prices in plain Australian dollars. For the whole-plant profile, our full-spectrum CBD oil keeps cannabidiol with the trace cannabinoids and terpenes, THC always under 0.3%. To avoid THC entirely, our broad-spectrum CBD oil takes that same extract through a step that removes it.
The range also holds two single-cannabinoid oils — CBG oil, which is cannabigerol, and a THC-free CBN oil, a cannabinol isolate — plus a pet CBD oil formulated for animals. All five are 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 within Australia. The full range and prices for Canberra sit in one place.
What to weigh before you compare
A clinic and a shop answer different questions, so the choice is really about which route you need:
- A clinic (Heyday Medical) — you want a doctor to assess you and, if it's clinically appropriate, prescribe a medical cannabis product, possibly including THC, with ongoing oversight. It begins with a consultation and an eligibility check, not a checkout.
- An over-the-counter shop (CBD Oil Canberra) — you want to buy hemp-derived CBD oil directly, chosen by spectrum, milligrams and carrier, with no consultation and no script. You browse, decide and order.
Neither replaces the other, and if a medical assessment is the goal, the clinic route is the appropriate one. If it's the over-the-counter product you're after, our how-to-use guide sets out how to read a CBD oil label and measure a serving.

Common questions about Heyday Medical and CBD oil in Canberra
Is Heyday Medical a shop? No. It's a telehealth clinic — now operating as Releaf — that arranges prescriptions after a consultation with a doctor. You don't 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 Canberra? Not for over-the-counter, hemp-derived CBD oil from a shop such as CBD Oil Canberra. A clinic route like Heyday Medical is for prescription products — a separate pathway with a doctor and a script.
What's the difference from CBD Oil Canberra? Heyday Medical is a clinic — consultation, doctor, prescription, and products that can include THC. CBD Oil Canberra is an over-the-counter CBD oil shop: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, CBG, CBN and pet oils, bought directly and shipped across ACT to Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, Woden.
How much does Heyday Medical cost? Under its current Releaf brand the listed pricing is $200 for the initial consultation, $125 for a first review and $88 for follow-ups, with Medicare rebates through some doctors subject to availability; any prescribed medication is separate and depends on the plan. CBD Oil Canberra works differently — no consultation, no plan, so you pay only for the CBD oil itself, every price in Australian dollars on the shop page.
Is CBD oil legal in ACT? 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 detail is on the TGA website.
Where can I buy over-the-counter CBD oil in Canberra? Online, from an Australian shop such as CBD Oil Canberra — you can see the full range and prices for Canberra and ACT together.
