Patient Info

In Australia, Plant-Based Medicine is a pharmaceutical product prescribed by an Australian-registered medical practitioner and taken to treat the symptoms of a medical condition, or the side effects of treatment.

Plant-Based Medicine products are highly regulated to ensure patient safety and consistency of product formulation.

Before prescribing Plant-Based Medicine, a registered health practitioner will assess the patient health, medical history and family health history to decide whether such treatment is appropriate for their condition and individual circumstances. The doctor will also consider current medications and any potential drug dependences and/or substance abuse.

Once you have a referral from your regular doctor and Governmental SAS B Application forms completed, we can handle the next steps for you:

1. Approval of SAS B Application (approximately 7 day turn around, longer for more complex applications)
2. Follow-up Consultation: Patient medication dosing adjustment (titration) and review of treatment plan.
3. Medication dispensed to you by your nominated pharmacy.
4. Commencement of medication.
5. Your Surfers Health Doctor will notify your treating specialist/s of your approval, approved medications and dosing rates.
6. Monthly prescription repeats, including tracking patient progress and dosing.
