Short answer: Tasmanian Botanics is an Australian licensed producer of prescription medical cannabis — a Tasmanian cultivator and manufacturer, not an over-the-counter shop, and not somewhere the public buys directly. Its products reach people through a doctor and a prescription. If you're in Perth and you specifically want over-the-counter CBD oil you can simply buy — no consultation, no script — that's a different thing. For that, there's CBD Oil Perth, an online CBD oil shop delivering across Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Joondalup, Bunbury, Western Australia and the rest of WA.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Perth is a separate Australian shop that sells its own range of over-the-counter CBD oil — it is not Tasmanian Botanics, is not affiliated with it, and is not a medical-cannabis producer, cultivator or prescriber. Tasmanian Botanics operates as its own business on its official site, in the prescription supply chain.
What Tasmanian Botanics is
Tasmanian Botanics is a Tasmanian, Australian-owned cultivator and manufacturer of medicinal cannabis. It was founded in 2016 and was among the first Australian companies to hold cultivation, manufacturing and research licences at the same time. The operation is vertically integrated — it controls each stage, from growing the plant to packaging finished goods — and it manufactures under AU-GMP (Australian Good Manufacturing Practice) conditions. Its range centres on medicinal cannabis flower and oils.
The key point for any comparison is the route. Tasmanian Botanics supplies prescribers and patients across Australia — that is, its products move through the prescription supply chain. You don't browse it and add a bottle to a cart; access begins with a doctor who decides whether to prescribe. It's a producer at the top of that chain, not a storefront at the end of it. Understanding that distinction is what makes a comparison with an over-the-counter shop meaningful in the first place.
Prescription medical cannabis vs over-the-counter CBD oil
This is worth being clear about, because the two are easily conflated. Prescription medical cannabis — the category Tasmanian Botanics produces — sits under the Therapeutic Goods Administration's framework. A doctor assesses whether it's appropriate, and the specific product and dose form part of a medical plan. That route can include THC-containing products and is managed under medical oversight.
Over-the-counter CBD oil is a different category. In 2021 the TGA down-scheduled low-dose cannabidiol to a pharmacist-only medicine, and hemp-derived CBD oil is also sold online as a product you buy directly — described by spectrum, milligrams and carrier oil. No consultation is required for that route. The two are not substitutes for one another; they are separate frameworks with separate rules, and neither replaces the other. The current position is set out on the TGA website. We don't position our shop as a stand-in for medical advice or a prescription — a doctor is the correct route for that. We simply sell over-the-counter CBD oil to people in Perth who want that specific product.
Buying over-the-counter CBD oil in Perth
CBD Oil Perth is an online CBD oil shop set up for Perth — no clinic, no consultation, no script. We describe every oil by what's in it, never by what it might do, and post across Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Joondalup, Bunbury, Western Australia and the rest of WA in plain Australian dollars. If you want the whole-plant profile, our full-spectrum CBD oil keeps the legal trace of THC (under 0.3%); if you'd rather none, our broad-spectrum CBD oil removes it.
Beyond cannabidiol there are two single-cannabinoid oils — CBG oil, which is cannabigerol, and a THC-free CBN oil, a cannabinol isolate — plus a pet CBD oil made for animals. Each is hemp extract in a coconut-derived MCT carrier, in a 50ml bottle, third-party lab-tested by batch with a Certificate of Analysis on request, and priced from $89.95. Imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam and dispatched within Australia; the whole range and prices for Perth are in one place.

What to weigh before you compare
A producer and a shop answer different questions, so the comparison is really about which route you need. This short checklist keeps it on facts:
- Licensed producer in the Rx chain (Tasmanian Botanics) — you want a doctor to assess you and, if appropriate, prescribe; that can include THC products and full medical oversight, supplied under the TGA framework. It starts with a consultation, not a checkout.
- A shop you buy from directly (CBD Oil Perth) — you want over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil, described by spectrum, milligrams and carrier oil, without a consultation. It starts and ends with the product.
Neither replaces the other. The prescription route is the one to take if what you want is a medical assessment. If it's the over-the-counter product you're after, the how-to-use guide explains how to read a CBD oil label.

Do I need a prescription for over-the-counter CBD oil? Not for over-the-counter, hemp-derived CBD oil from a shop like CBD Oil Perth. The OTC and prescription routes are separate frameworks; what Tasmanian Botanics produces sits in the prescription pathway.
