CBD oil in Australia is hemp extract — cannabidiol and related cannabinoids in a carrier oil — and you can get it two ways: a low-dose or prescribed product through the medical system, or hemp-derived CBD oil bought online and described by what is in it. In Perth that second, over-the-counter route is what CBD Oil Perth sells, an online CBD oil shop shipping across Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Joondalup, Bunbury, Western Australia.
This is an information guide, not medical advice or a sales pitch — if you already know you want to buy, the full range and prices are one click away. CBD Oil Perth is an online shop that sells its own hemp-derived CBD oil across WA; it is not a pharmacy, a clinic or a prescriber. What follows is the plain-English version of everything a buyer in Perth tends to ask: what CBD oil actually is, what the law says, the types you will see, how to choose between them, and what it costs.
What is CBD oil?
CBD oil is an extract of hemp — a low-THC variety of the cannabis plant, Cannabis sativa L. — blended into a carrier oil so it can be measured by the drop. The active ingredients are cannabinoids: cannabidiol (CBD) is the best known, alongside relatives such as cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinol (CBN). Hemp and "marijuana" are both the cannabis plant; the difference is chemistry, with hemp defined by its very low THC content. When people say "CBD oil" they almost always mean an oil whose headline cannabinoid is cannabidiol, in a strength measured in milligrams.
A point worth settling early, because it trips up a lot of first-time buyers: CBD oil is not hemp seed oil. Hemp seed oil is pressed from the seed of the plant and is essentially a food oil — it contains little to no cannabinoids and is sold in supermarkets as a culinary product. CBD oil is made from the leaf and flower, where the cannabinoids actually sit, and is described by the amount of CBD (or CBG, or CBN) it contains. If a label talks about milligrams of cannabinoid, it is a CBD-type oil; if it only mentions "hemp seed", it is the food oil.
The carrier matters too. Ours is a neutral, coconut-derived MCT oil, and every bottle is 50ml, so the strength on the label always relates to the same volume. The other word you will meet constantly is "spectrum" — full-spectrum, broad-spectrum or single-cannabinoid — which simply describes which compounds are kept in the extract during processing. We unpack each one in our guides to full-spectrum CBD oil and broad-spectrum CBD oil; the short version is in the types section below.
Is CBD oil legal in Australia?
Yes — with the detail being which product and which route. Medical cannabis has been legal in Australia since 2016, when the Narcotic Drugs Amendment Act allowed regulated cultivation, manufacture and patient access. Most medical cannabis products are "unapproved" goods, prescribed by a doctor and dispensed at a pharmacy through schemes run by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
Then, in 2021, the TGA down-scheduled low-dose cannabidiol — up to 150mg a day — to Schedule 3, a pharmacist-only medicine that, in principle, could be sold over the counter without a prescription. The catch is practical: to date no product has actually been approved on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods to be supplied that way, so the Schedule 3 over-the-counter pharmacy option exists on paper more than on the shelf. Higher-strength CBD sits one rung up, in Schedule 4 — a prescription item — accessed through the TGA's Special Access Scheme Category B, where a doctor applies to prescribe a specific unapproved product, or the Authorised Prescriber pathway, where a doctor is pre-authorised to prescribe a category of product.
So where does an over-the-counter purchase actually fit? Separately from the medical schemes, hemp-derived CBD oil is sold online as a composition-described product — that is, labelled and sold by exactly what it contains, by its measurable composition, rather than as an approved medicine. That is the category our range belongs to. It also means importing a CBD product yourself from overseas without the right approval is a different matter and can see goods stopped at the border, which is one reason buying from a shop that dispatches from within Australia is simpler. The current rules, in full and from the source, are on the TGA website. We describe our oils by composition only and make no health claims of any kind.
Types of CBD oil
Most of the choice comes down to which cannabinoids are in the bottle, and how much. Here is the range you will see in Australia, ours included, described by composition rather than by any claim.
Full-spectrum keeps the whole-plant profile — CBD plus the smaller cannabinoids and other plant compounds that come with it, including the legal trace of THC under 0.3%. It is the most complete extract, and the closest to the plant as grown; more in our full-spectrum CBD oil guide.
Broad-spectrum keeps that wider range of plant compounds but has the THC taken out, so it tests at 0% THC. It is the natural pick for anyone who wants the broader profile without any THC at all — for instance where a workplace tests for it. The detail is in our note on broad-spectrum CBD oil.
CBG oil is built around cannabigerol rather than cannabidiol — a different single cannabinoid, sometimes called a "minor" cannabinoid because the plant makes less of it. We cover what it is, by composition, in our guide to CBG oil.
CBN oil is a cannabinol isolate: a single cannabinoid on its own, with no THC. Isolate simply means one compound, separated from the rest, and we set out the specifics in CBN oil explained.
Pet CBD oil is a pet-formulated version, made for animals rather than people. We stock a CBD oil for pets described, like everything else in the range, by what is in it and never by what it might do.
How to choose: spectrum, strength, carrier and lab testing
With the types clear, choosing is a short checklist — and none of it is about a condition. Read any oil, ours or another Australian shop's, by these five things:
- Spectrum — full-spectrum (THC under 0.3%), broad-spectrum (THC removed) or an isolate (one cannabinoid alone). This is a compositional choice, not a quality ranking.
- Strength — the milligrams of cannabinoid in the bottle. Divide by the volume for the per-millilitre figure: a full-spectrum 1000mg oil in a 50ml bottle works out to 20mg per millilitre.
- Carrier oil — what the cannabinoid is dissolved in; ours is coconut-derived MCT.
- THC content — stated plainly on the label, and confirmed by the Certificate of Analysis. If you want zero, the broad-spectrum 1000mg is the one.
- Lab testing — third-party tested by batch, with a Certificate of Analysis you can request before buying.
Our guide to using CBD oil walks through reading the label once a Perth order arrives.
How to read a Certificate of Analysis
The single most useful habit when comparing oils is to ask for the Certificate of Analysis — the COA — and actually read it, because the over-the-counter category is sold on composition, and the COA is where composition is proven. A COA is the third-party laboratory's report on a specific batch, and three things on it are worth your attention.
First, the cannabinoid profile: it lists how much CBD (and any CBG or CBN) the batch contains, which should line up with the strength printed on the bottle. Second, the THC figure: a full-spectrum oil will show a trace under the legal limit, while a broad-spectrum oil or an isolate should read as none detected. Third, the batch and date: a COA is tied to a production batch, so a current, batch-matched certificate is more meaningful than a generic one. We lab-test by batch and provide the Certificate of Analysis on request for exactly this reason — it lets a buyer in Perth check what is in the bottle rather than take it on trust.
From our CBD oil range
CBG Oil 1000mg – Cannabigerol
Cannabigerol — the cannabinoid the hemp plant uses to make the others as it grows. Less abundant than CBD, which is why CBG oils sit at a different price point. 1000mg in 50ml of MCT carrier (20mg per ml).
CBD Oil 3000mg – Full Spectrum
The whole-hemp profile — CBD alongside the smaller cannabinoids and terpenes from the same extraction. Trace THC stays under 0.3%. 3000mg in 50ml of MCT oil (60mg per ml).
Pet CBD Oil 2000mg – Full Spectrum
Pet-formulated CBD oil — same hemp source as our human range, neutral MCT carrier, no human-targeted flavours or sweeteners. 2000mg in 50ml of MCT oil (40mg per ml). Best introduced under guidance from your vet.
Prescription versus over-the-counter
These are two separate routes, and it is worth being precise because they are easy to blur. The prescription route is the medical pathway: a TGA-authorised doctor — often through a telehealth clinic — assesses whether a medical cannabis product is clinically appropriate and, if so, issues a script that a pharmacy dispenses. We set that pathway out in full in our guide to how to get medical cannabis in Perth.
The over-the-counter route is different: hemp-derived CBD oil bought directly from a shop, described by composition, with no consultation and no script. The two are not substitutes for one another, and neither replaces the other — they are separate routes with separate rules. CBD Oil Perth sits firmly in the second category. We are an online shop, not a clinic; if a medical assessment is what you want, a doctor is the step, and the prescription pathway is how to start it.
Where to buy CBD oil in Perth
For the over-the-counter product, that is where CBD Oil Perth comes in — an online CBD oil shop serving Perth and the rest of WA. There is no storefront to visit and no prescription to organise: you order online and we post across Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Joondalup, Bunbury, Western Australia and beyond in plain Australian dollars.
Every oil in the range is hemp extract in a coconut-derived MCT carrier, sold in a 50ml bottle, third-party lab-tested by batch with a Certificate of Analysis on request, and priced from $89.95. Our oils are imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam and dispatched from within Australia, so a Perth order is a domestic delivery. You can see the whole range and prices — full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, CBG, CBN and pet — in one place.
How much does CBD oil cost in Australia?
Over-the-counter CBD oil from CBD Oil Perth starts at $89.95 in Australian dollars, and the useful way to compare prices is per milligram rather than per bottle. Take the strength, divide by the price, and you have a like-for-like figure: a 1000mg oil at $89.95 is a different value from a higher-strength bottle even when the sticker price is larger, so a 3000mg or 6000mg bottle often costs less per milligram than a 1000mg one. Strength, spectrum and carrier are what move the number — not a brand story.
The prescription route is costed differently and separately. There you would expect a consultation fee, which varies by clinic, plus the cost of any prescribed product set by the pharmacy; medical cannabis is generally not subsidised through the PBS, so it is usually paid out of pocket. With our over-the-counter oils there is no consult — you pay for the oil and nothing else, from $89.95 on the shop page.
Common questions about CBD oil in Perth
Is CBD oil legal in Australia? Yes, within the national framework. Low-dose cannabidiol is classed as a pharmacist-only medicine, higher-strength products sit behind a prescription, and hemp-derived CBD oil is sold online as a composition-described product. The rules are set by the TGA, and we describe our oils by composition only.
Do I need a prescription for CBD oil? Not for the over-the-counter, hemp-derived CBD oil sold by a shop such as CBD Oil Perth. The prescription pathway is separate, and it covers medical cannabis products, which can include THC.
What is the difference between full and broad-spectrum? Full-spectrum keeps the whole-plant profile with a legal trace of THC under 0.3%; broad-spectrum keeps the wider plant compounds but has the THC removed, testing at 0%. Same idea, one with a trace of THC and one without — the detail is in our full-spectrum and broad-spectrum guides.
How much does CBD oil cost? Our range starts at $89.95 in Australian dollars. Compare per milligram — strength divided by price — rather than by the bottle, since a stronger oil is often better value per milligram.
Where can I buy CBD oil in Perth? Online, from an Australian CBD oil shop like CBD Oil Perth. We post across Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Joondalup, Bunbury, Western Australia and the rest of WA, with the whole range and prices on one page.
Is there THC in CBD oil? It depends on the spectrum. Full-spectrum keeps a legal trace under 0.3%; broad-spectrum and our CBN isolate are THC-free. The exact figure is on the label and confirmed by the Certificate of Analysis.
What carrier oil do you use? A neutral, coconut-derived MCT oil, the same across the range, with each oil sold in a 50ml bottle.
