Cann Group is a Melbourne-headquartered, ASX-listed medicinal cannabis company — VIC's own licensed cultivator and one of the very first in Australia to hold a commercial cannabis research licence. Based in Port Melbourne, the company breeds, grows and manufactures cannabis medicines through a B2B wholesale model, supplying clinics and distributors rather than selling direct to consumers. As a local resident shopping for CBD oil in Melbourne, knowing who Cann Group is — and what it actually produces — helps put the wider Australian cannabis and CBD landscape into plain context.
What is Cann Group?
Cann Group Limited (ASX: CAN) is a Victorian medicinal cannabis producer, not a retail CBD shop. The company received Australia's first commercial cannabis research licence in 2017 and has since built two major facilities: a research and development site in Port Melbourne and a large-scale commercial cultivation and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) manufacturing plant near Mildura, in Victoria's north-west. Both facilities operate under licences issued by the Office of Drug Control (ODC) and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
Cann Group's full company information and investor disclosures are available at canngrouplimited.com.
The Mildura facility is significant for VIC: it is a purpose-built greenhouse-and-manufacturing complex designed to produce dried cannabis flower, oils and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) at commercial scale. When the TGA issued a GMP manufacturing licence for Mildura, it meant products made there could, in principle, enter Australian patient-access pathways and approved export markets. That is the kind of capacity underpinning the prescription-based medical cannabis market across VIC and nationally.
A B2B producer, not a consumer brand
This distinction matters for Melbourne shoppers: Cann Group does not sell CBD oil on a website or dispatch bottles to consumers. It is a wholesale and B2B supplier — its customers are pharmaceutical distributors, licensed dispensaries and medical practitioners, not individuals. The company also holds the Satipharm brand, which uses a patented capsule delivery technology for cannabinoids.
If you have come across "Cann Group" while researching where to buy CBD oil in Melbourne CBD, Richmond, St Kilda or Brunswick, you were most likely reading an ASX news release or a medical-sector profile. Cann Group's product does not appear on a retail shelf alongside over-the-counter (OTC) supplements.
Is Cann Group a retail CBD brand?
No. Cann Group (ASX: CAN) is a B2B medicinal cannabis producer based in Port Melbourne, VIC. It supplies pharmaceutical-grade products to distributors and via prescription pathways. It does not sell directly to consumers.
Prescription medical cannabis vs OTC CBD oil in VIC
Understanding Cann Group's role means understanding the two separate pathways that exist in Australia for accessing cannabinoid products.
Prescription (Rx) medical cannabis — including higher-potency CBD oils, THC products and the products Cann Group manufactures — requires a doctor or authorised prescriber to apply to the TGA on a patient's behalf through the Special Access Scheme (SAS) or the Authorised Prescriber (AP) scheme. Products supplied this way are pharmaceutical-grade medicines. They are not freely available in a shop.
Over-the-counter low-dose CBD — the TGA down-scheduled certain very-low-dose cannabidiol preparations from Schedule 4 (prescription) to Schedule 3 (pharmacist-only medicine) effective February 2021. This pathway theoretically allows a product containing up to 150 mg of CBD per day, at least 98% CBD purity, under 1% THC and under 2% of any other cannabinoid, to be sold by a pharmacist without a prescription. In practice, no product satisfying those exact Schedule 3 criteria has been registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) as of mid-2026. The pharmacist-OTC pathway exists in regulation but not yet in practice.
Imported hemp-derived CBD oil — a separate category sold by online retailers (including CBD Oil Melbourne) that operates in a different segment. These products are described by composition only: cannabinoid spectrum, mg strength, carrier oil, and THC percentage. They are not registered therapeutic goods and are not framed as medicines. CBD Oil Melbourne products are imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam, lab-tested by batch, and dispatched Australia-wide from an online store.
The distinction is important: CBD Oil Melbourne is not an alternative to a medical cannabis prescription, and Cann Group's pharmaceutical product portfolio is not the same thing as the hemp-derived CBD oils stocked at CBD Oil Melbourne. They are different products operating under different regulatory frameworks.
Can I buy Cann Group products online without a prescription?
No. Cann Group's products are pharmaceutical medicines accessed through the TGA's Special Access Scheme or an authorised prescriber. A doctor must be involved in the access pathway.
What Cann Group actually produces
Cann Group's catalogue is built for the prescription market. Their output includes:
- Medicinal cannabis flower (dried, for inhalation on prescription)
- CBD and THC oil preparations (pharmaceutical-grade, prescription access)
- Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for licensed manufacturers
- Satipharm capsules — proprietary delivery technology using a specialised gel-bead capsule format
These are manufactured under the TGA's GMP standards at the Mildura facility and must be accessed through a doctor or authorised prescriber. They are not the same product as the full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD oil in Melbourne you can browse at CBD Oil Melbourne.
From our CBD oil range
CBD Oil 3000mg Broad Spectrum – 50ml
Broad-spectrum CBD with the THC removed (0%): 3000mg of cannabidiol with the supporting hemp cannabinoids and terpenes, set in 50ml of MCT oil at 60mg per ml — a more concentrated drop.
CBN Oil 3000mg Cannabinol – 50ml
Cannabinol (CBN) isolate, THC-free and more concentrated: 3000mg in 50ml of MCT oil at 60mg per ml — the cannabinoid that develops as hemp ages, often chosen for evening use.
CBD Oil 6000mg Full Spectrum – 50ml
Whole-plant full-spectrum CBD, more concentrated again: 6000mg of cannabidiol with hemp's minor cannabinoids and terpenes, the same 50ml bottle at 120mg per ml, trace THC under 0.3%.
What is the Mildura facility?
Cann Group's large-scale cultivation and GMP manufacturing plant is located near Mildura in north-west Victoria. It holds a TGA GMP manufacturing licence and produces dried flower, oils and API for the prescription market in Australia and approved export markets.

If you are weighing up whether to consult a prescribing clinic for pharmaceutical-grade medical cannabis (including Cann Group products supplied through that pathway), or to try an online hemp-derived oil first, that is a personal decision. CBD Oil Melbourne does not provide medical advice and is not a clinic. For guidance on the prescription pathway, speak with a registered GP or contact the TGA directly.

No. CBD Oil Melbourne is an independent online retailer of hemp-derived CBD, CBG and CBN oils imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam. It is not affiliated with Cann Group, its production facilities, or the ASX-listed company.

What to weigh before you buy CBD oil in Melbourne
Whether you are exploring the prescription route or browsing OTC hemp oils shipped to Melbourne CBD, Richmond, St Kilda or Brunswick, a few straightforward questions apply:
Composition. What cannabinoids are in it, at what concentration, in what carrier? Full-spectrum retains the natural hemp profile (including trace THC). Broad-spectrum removes the THC. CBG and CBN are distinct minor cannabinoids. None of these is "stronger" or "better" in an absolute sense — they have different compositions.
Lab testing. Any reputable product should carry a current Certificate of Analysis (COA) from a third-party laboratory. CBD Oil Melbourne products are lab-tested by batch; the COA is available on request.
Spectrum and THC. If THC presence is a concern (employment testing, personal preference), broad-spectrum or CBN isolate removes it entirely. Full-spectrum contains THC under 0.3% — a legal trace.
Strength (mg). Our guide to CBD oil strengths covers what the mg number actually means on a label and how it relates to concentration per millilitre.
Regulatory category. Pharmacy-dispensed Schedule 3 CBD (when available) and prescription Rx cannabis are different from imported hemp-derived oil. None is the same thing as the other. If you need the prescription route, a doctor is the right starting point — not a product page.
