Short answer: Elixinol Wellness (ASX: EXL) is an Australian-founded company — but if you searched for its CBD oil from Melbourne, you've encountered its US-market CBD store, which does not ship to Australia. In Australia, the Elixinol brand's retail presence is hemp food products — seeds, protein, seed oil — not CBD oil tinctures. CBD oil from the Elixinol brand has historically only been available in Australia through the prescription pathway. For hemp-derived CBD oil available over the counter in Melbourne and Melbourne CBD, Richmond, St Kilda, Brunswick today, CBD Oil Melbourne is a domestic CBD oil shop dispatching to VIC and Australia-wide.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Melbourne is a separate Australian shop — it is not Elixinol, has no affiliation with Elixinol Wellness Limited, and no connection to the ASX-listed company. Elixinol Wellness's own brand information is at its official site.
How Melbourne buyers arrive at the Elixinol brand
The Elixinol name surfaces in Melbourne searches through a few different channels: the ASX listing draws corporate-finance attention, the hemp food products appear in VIC supermarkets and health-food retailers, and the US-facing CBD oil store turns up in English-language CBD review content.
These are three separate product and corporate contexts united under one brand name. For a Melbourne buyer, understanding which context is relevant to their search is the most useful starting point.
The ASX company — Elixinol Wellness Limited (ASX: EXL) — is an Australian-founded, publicly listed company. Its corporate history is genuinely Australian, and it operates in multiple markets.
The hemp food products — hemp seeds, hemp protein, hemp seed oil — are sold through supermarkets and health-food stores in Australia under the Elixinol or related brand. These are food products regulated under food law, not CBD oil regulated under the TGA framework. They do not contain cannabidiol at therapeutic levels.
The CBD oil store — with full-spectrum and broad-spectrum tinctures, capsules, gummies, topicals, and a pet range — runs for the US market. It uses US-grown hemp and does not ship to Australia.
The Melbourne buyer's gap: CBD oil vs hemp food
For a Melbourne buyer who has found Elixinol through CBD oil research and is expecting to find an over-the-counter CBD oil product, the distinction is significant.
Elixinol's CBD oil has historically been available in Australia only through the prescription pathway — meaning a TGA-authorised prescription, not OTC retail. The brand's Australian retail footprint is in hemp food, which is a different regulatory and product category entirely.
The TGA framework for CBD in Australia creates two separate channels:
- Prescription CBD — Schedule 4, requires an authorised prescriber, covers higher doses and specific clinical use
- Low-dose OTC CBD — pharmacist-only sale, no prescription required, within defined dose parameters
Elixinol's Australian history sits in the prescription channel. The OTC channel — which is where CBD Oil Melbourne operates — is served by domestic shops, not by Elixinol's US store.
What CBD Oil Melbourne offers Melbourne buyers instead
For Melbourne buyers who were looking for hemp-derived CBD oil over the counter, CBD Oil Melbourne is the domestic alternative — dispatching to Melbourne CBD, Richmond, St Kilda, Brunswick and across VIC as a standard domestic parcel.
The range covers the spectrum categories Elixinol's US store carries, domestically:
- Full-spectrum CBD oil — whole-plant hemp, trace THC under 0.3%; directly equivalent to Elixinol US full-spectrum range
- Broad-spectrum CBD oil — multi-cannabinoid, 0% THC; equivalent to Elixinol's broad-spectrum option
- CBG oil — dedicated cannabigerol oil; Elixinol doesn't carry CBG as a standalone oil in its US range
- CBN oil — THC-free cannabinol isolate; also not in Elixinol's US range
- Pet CBD oil — formulated for animals; Elixinol offers a pet product in its US range
Every CBD Oil Melbourne bottle is 50ml, coconut-derived MCT carrier, third-party lab-tested by batch with a Certificate of Analysis on request, from $89.95 AUD. The how-to-use guide explains how to read spectrum labels and compare strengths for Melbourne buyers new to CBD oil.

Hemp food: what you can buy Elixinol-branded products in Melbourne
For completeness — if you found Elixinol at a Melbourne health-food retailer or supermarket, you found the hemp food range. These products include hemp seeds, hemp protein powder, and cold-pressed hemp seed oil. They are nutritional food products, not CBD oil. They are not interchangeable with CBD oil in composition or regulatory status.
Hemp seed oil (from cold-pressed hemp seeds) contains fatty acids and some nutritional compounds found in hemp, but does not contain significant quantities of cannabidiol as a regulated compound. This is a common source of confusion — the "hemp" brand connection creates an association that does not reflect the product content.
