Why patients choose Dispensed

Dispensed is Australian owned and funded. All consultations with our nurses and doctors are included in your treatment plan, initial and follow-up alike. You can often be seen the same day, so there's no waiting days or weeks to speak with our clinical team.

That support carries on after your appointment too. Our team is available on live chat seven days a week for bookings, your account or your orders, all managed through one online dashboard.
Consultation and cost

Getting started with Dispensed costs nothing: registration, the initial questionnaire and your first consultation are all free, with no onboarding fees and no lock-in contract. You're only charged if a clinician recommends a treatment plan and you choose to go ahead; healthcare plan pricing is $99 a month, covering ongoing consultations, reviews and support in one payment, with no hidden fees on top of that price.

Doctor Canna's nurse screening is free, but the doctor consultation itself costs $28, whether it's your first visit or a follow-up, plus a $25 shipping and handling fee on any order and a possible $42 admin fee if you use a pharmacy outside their partner network.
