Medical Cannabis Research Australia
Who we are
Team of Directors
Medical Cannabis Research Australia was established in December 2016.
We are committed to improve the lives of Australians and their families by reducing the suffering, prevalence and impact of a variety of diseases through the use of medical cannabis.
This will be achieved with a focus on clinical trials and ethical supply of medical cannabis.
Research will be conducted to support and promote public awareness for the use of medical cannabis including education for clinical practitioners with new treatment options, both locally and globally for their patients.
We aim to educate and advise health professionals, patients, their families and carers in the use of medical cannabis through media, education and fund raising campaigns and further cooperate with government and likeminded organisations in order to advance the research, treatments, equity and quality of life which can be assisted with the use of medical cannabis.
