Telehealth General Practitioner – Medicinal Cannabis

Remote – Australia | Work From Home | Flexible Hours | $200–$260+ per hour

An chance to practise medicine on your terms

Cannabis Doctors Tasmania is seeking additional General Practitioners to join our growing, independently owned telehealth clinic.

Whether you are looking to supplement your existing general practice work or take on a more substantial regular workload, this role offers the flexibility to build a schedule around your professional and personal commitments.

With ongoing patient demand, you can start from approximately 4 hours per week and increase your hours as your availability allows. There is no requirement to commit to a fixed full-time schedule.

We are looking for doctors who value clinical autonomy, thoughtful prescribing and high-quality patient care.

Why join Cannabis Doctors Tasmania?

We are a doctor-led, independently owned medical practice with a clear focus on ethical, patient-centred and evidence-based healthcare.

Our business model is deliberately structured to protect clinical independence. We have:

- No ownership interests in pharmacies
- No financial relationships with medicinal cannabis manufacturers
- No sales targets or prescribing quotas
- No corporate KPIs dictating clinical decisions
- Complete clinical autonomy in patient management

We recognise that every doctor brings their own clinical experience, knowledge and approach to patient care. We provide training, resources and ongoing support while respecting your professional judgement.

We do not believe medicinal cannabis is appropriate for everyone. Our focus is on identifying when it may offer a reasonable treatment option for an individual patient.

A flexible role designed around you

This is a fully remote position supported by an established administrative and clinical team.

The role offers:

- The freedom to work from home anywhere in Australia
- Flexible appointment sessions between 7 am and 9 pm, seven days a week
- A minimum starting commitment of approximately 4 hours weekly
- Consistent patient demand and access to an established patient base
- A private-billing model with no Medicare billing requirements
- Comprehensive training for doctors new to medicinal cannabis
- Access to ongoing clinical guidance and mentoring
- Administrative assistance with bookings, prescriptions and patient communications
- Flexibility to take leave when needed, without a fixed annual leave allocation

You can maintain your existing clinical commitments while gradually building your sessions with us, or choose a larger workload if that better suits your circumstances.

Competitive remuneration





Doctors are remunerated through a percentage of the consultation fees they generate.

Our current fees are:

- Initial consultation: 30 minutes – $169
- Follow-up consultation: 15 minutes – $99

Indicative gross consultation revenue per clinical hour is approximately:

- Initial appointments: $200+
- Follow-up appointments: $238–$257+

Actual earnings depend on appointment mix and session utilisation. As your patient base develops, follow-up consultations will generally account for a larger proportion of appointments.

Expected earnings are approximately $200–$260+ per hour, depending on the mix of consultations and hours worked.

The clinical work

You will provide telehealth consultations to patients across Australia, including people living with chronic illnesses, complex medical conditions and symptoms that have not responded adequately to previous treatments.

Your clinical responsibilities may include:

- Conducting comprehensive medical assessments and taking relevant histories
- Reviewing existing medications, diagnoses and previous treatment responses
- Assessing the suitability of medicinal cannabis on an individual basis
- Developing personalised management plans
- Prescribing treatment when clinically indicated
- Monitoring outcomes, tolerability and ongoing treatment requirements
- Maintaining accurate and comprehensive clinical documentation
- Liaising with patients' regular GPs and other treating healthcare professionals

We place considerable importance on continuity of care and collaboration with other clinicians. We routinely provide correspondence to patients' regular GPs following consultations to support coordinated, informed medical management.

Our approach to medicinal cannabis

We aim to deliver care that is responsible, affordable, clinically appropriate and evidence-based.

Our prescribing model is built around several core principles:

- Brand independence: Treatment choices are based on clinical considerations, not commercial relationships.
- Patient choice: Patients can choose where their medication is dispensed.
- Cost-conscious prescribing: Affordable options are considered wherever clinically suitable.
- Responsible monitoring: Treatment is reviewed appropriately, with structured follow-up and assessment of outcomes.
- Collaborative healthcare:



We encourage communication with patients' existing healthcare providers.
- Individualised treatment: Oils, oral formulations and inhaled options are considered according to the patient's circumstances and clinical needs.
- Professional autonomy: Doctors are trusted to make independent prescribing decisions within appropriate clinical and regulatory frameworks.

We want our doctors to feel supported in practising good medicine without pressure to prescribe particular products or pursue commercial targets.

Who should apply?

We are interested in GPs who are clinically capable, communicate well and enjoy working collaboratively with patients managing ongoing health concerns.

Ideally, you will have:

- Current AHPRA registration
- At least three years of clinical experience
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Confidence using telehealth and digital clinical systems
- A commitment to safe, ethical and patient-centred care
- An interest in chronic disease management, complex presentations and longitudinal care

Previous medicinal cannabis prescribing experience is not required.

If you are interested in this area but have not prescribed medicinal cannabis before, we provide comprehensive onboarding, initial training and ongoing clinical support to help you develop the necessary knowledge and confidence.

About us
