The Compendium supports informed medicinal cannabis prescribing by helping clinicians navigate an increasingly common yet more complex area of healthcare in Australia. With more than 1 million prescriptions approved under the Special Access Scheme (SAS-B) as of 2024, prescribers face a growing number of product options, patient expectations and compliance requirements.
To make confident, timely and compliant decisions, clinicians need a smarter support system. That is exactly what The Compendium provides: a clinician-only medicinal cannabis knowledge base designed to simplify prescribing and support better patient outcomes.
Time is one of the most valuable resources in clinical practice. To help healthcare professionals work more efficiently, The Compendium brings essential medicinal cannabis product information together in a single, easy-to-navigate platform.
Key time-saving features include:
As a result, clinicians can quickly identify suitable products and make informed decisions more efficiently. Rather than searching through multiple PDFs, supplier websites and email updates, they can access the information they need within seconds from one central source.
Product availability plays a crucial role in successful medicinal cannabis prescribing. However, when a prescribed product is unexpectedly out of stock, clinicians often need to issue replacement scripts, creating additional administrative work and delaying patient access to treatment.
The Compendium helps address this challenge by providing greater visibility into product availability. With access to real-time stock information, prescribers can:
As the medicinal cannabis market continues to expand, this level of visibility becomes increasingly important. By enabling clinicians to make informed prescribing decisions based on current availability, The Compendium helps support a more efficient prescribing process and a smoother patient journey.
Real-world clinical data can support more informed prescribing decisions. To help clinicians learn from collective prescribing experiences, The Compendium enables healthcare professionals to view and contribute clinical outcomes within a collaborative, peer-driven environment.
Key benefits include:
Furthermore, by connecting clinicians with valuable real-world prescribing insights, The Compendium supports continuous learning and evidence-informed decision-making. This ongoing feedback loop helps build a more informed prescribing community while supporting better patient outcomes.
Compliance remains a key consideration for medicinal cannabis prescribers. To support regulatory requirements, The Compendium provides clear visibility of product scheduling information and displays only TGA-listed medicinal cannabis products.
Built with compliance at its core, the platform:
This gives clinicians greater confidence when making prescribing decisions while helping to reduce the risk of inadvertent non-compliance. By integrating essential compliance information into everyday workflows, The Compendium streamlines prescribing and supports best-practice clinical governance.
With over 400 medicinal cannabis products available in Australia under Special Access and Authorised Prescriber pathways, navigating options can be complex. The Compendium presents product information in a structured format to support healthcare professionals in clinical decision-making.

This resource is designed to assist in evidence-informed prescribing in line with current regulatory frameworks.
The Compendium isn’t just a database; it’s a professional platform for streamlined communication. Doctors can send product-specific questions directly to suppliers and receive updates through in-app notifications, not cluttered inboxes.
This leads to:
– Faster responses to clinical questions
– More transparency between doctors and distributors
– Fewer interruptions in patient care
Collaboration is key, and The Compendium enables it securely and efficiently.
