To prescribe medicinal cannabis for a group of patients with the same condition (for example, children with treatment-resistant epilepsy), a medical practitioner can apply to become an Authorised Prescriber.

When a medical practitioner becomes an this means they do not need to notify the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) each time they prescribe the cannabis product, but instead must report to the TGA the number of patients treated every 6 months.

The medical practitioner must also seek endorsement for their application from an ethics committee who will assess not only the safety of the cannabis product for the condition, but also the suitability of the medical practitioner.

As stated on the TGA website, it is not possible to find out who is an Authorised Prescriber due to privacy reasons.
