Conditions & Eligibility
Am I eligible?
There are no restrictions imposed by the TGA on the indication/s for which a health practitioner may apply to access an unapproved medicinal product for their patient. For more information, please see the TGA overview of alternative medication and the SAS sections on their website.
What if my doctor won't give me a referral?
If your doctor refuses to give you a referral, it is possible to request your medical history and take that to another doctor.
Which medical conditions or diseases can be treated?
To receive alternative therapy, we require patients to have a regular GP and to have considered all conventional condition treatment options with their GP, including non-pharmaceutical options. Our clinicians do not diagnose conditions but rather provide medications to treat symptoms. Patients are required to have their primary doctor examine, investigate, diagnose and manage their medical conditions.
Can alternative medicine be prescribed for Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders?
As some active ingredients within alternative medication can unmask or worsen symptoms of Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders in some patients, we require a letter of endorsement from their current psychiatrist for patients with these conditions wishing to treat their symptoms.
