Polln is an Australian telehealth clinic that operates entirely by video call — not phone, not in-person. For Sydney buyers, understanding that distinction matters: a 30-minute video appointment with an AHPRA-registered doctor is the entry point for Polln's service, and the TGA's prescription framework governs what happens from there. Polln is not a shop, and it is not a general telehealth platform — it is specifically a prescription medical cannabis clinic. If you are looking for over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil in Sydney without a video consultation, CBD Oil Sydney ships to Sydney CBD, Surry Hills, Newtown, Parramatta, and across NSW.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Sydney is a Sydney online shop with no affiliation with Polln. Polln's service is described on its official site.
How Polln's video-call model works
Polln launched in 2021 and has served more than 20,000 patients nationally. It is owned by Nectar Brands, the same parent group as the Cultiva cannabis supplier. The clinic states its doctors make clinical decisions independently of its commercial arrangements.
The video-call model means:
- No phone-only option. Consultations are video, which requires a device with a camera and a stable internet connection.
- No physical clinic. Sydney patients do not attend a premises — everything is remote.
- A 30-minute initial consultation with an AHPRA-registered doctor.
- Return consultations available in 15 or 30-minute formats, from $49.
Before the paid initial consultation, Polln offers a free 15-minute nurse discovery call — a pre-screening step where a nurse reviews eligibility and explains the process. This is not a clinical assessment but a practical orientation step.
Polln pricing:
- Free nurse discovery call: $0
- Initial video consultation: $79
- Return consultations: from $49
Polln does not charge for or dispense medication — that is handled by a separate pharmacy after the prescription is issued.
Eligibility criteria Polln applies
Polln's stated eligibility criteria:
- Chronic condition, 3+ months duration — the condition should be long-term, not acute.
- Prior standard treatments insufficient — the patient should have already tried standard treatments.
- No medical contraindications — assessed by the doctor during the consultation.
These are the clinic's stated criteria; the prescribing doctor makes the final clinical assessment within the TGA framework.
How the TGA framework governs Polln's prescriptions
Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration administers the prescription medical cannabis framework through the Special Access Scheme (SAS) and the Authorised Prescriber (AP) scheme. Both require an AHPRA-registered practitioner. Polln's doctors prescribe under these frameworks.
A separate TGA action in 2021 down-scheduled low-dose cannabidiol (up to 150 mg per day) to Schedule 3 (pharmacist-only) — a separate track that has no connection to Polln's prescription service. Online retailers supplying hemp-derived CBD oil as a composition-described product operate under this separate OTC framework.
The TGA website covers both pathways in full.
From our CBD oil range
1000mg CBG Oil — Cannabigerol
Cannabigerol — the parent compound a young hemp plant turns into the others as it grows. Less abundant than CBD, which is why CBG sits apart on cost. 1000mg in 50ml MCT, 20mg per ml.
6000mg CBN Oil — Cannabinol
Cannabinol at higher strength. Forms as raw hemp ages; supplied as a THC-free isolate so you get that one cannabinoid alone. 6000mg in 50ml MCT, 120mg per ml.
12000mg CBD Oil — Full Spectrum
Our strongest full-spectrum oil. The complete whole-plant profile — CBD with the minor cannabinoids and terpenes — and a legal trace of THC under 0.3%. 12000mg in 50ml MCT, 240mg per ml.
Prescription pathway vs OTC pathway in Sydney
For Sydney buyers, the comparison:
Polln (prescription): 30-minute video consultation → doctor's assessment → prescription under SAS or AP → pharmacy dispensing → products that can include THC at prescription-level concentrations. Fee: $79 initial, from $49 return. Ongoing clinical management.
CBD Oil Sydney (OTC): browse the full product range → choose by cannabinoid composition → order in AUD → delivery to Sydney CBD, Surry Hills, Newtown, Parramatta. No consultation, no script, no clinical assessment. From $89.95.
These are parallel tracks with different regulatory rules. Neither replaces the other.
