In a crowded healthcare market, an alternative healthcare practice can sometimes be difficult for patients to find. CannaDr’s online directory provides a professional and compliant way for practitioners to increase their visibility.
This article outlines how listing your practice on CannaDr helps you build your digital presence, connect with patients looking for authorised prescribers, and streamline your professional profile.
CannaDr lets you showcase your AHPRA-approved status, qualifications and areas of practice (such as medicinal cannabis or herbal medicine). You can also include details like fees and appointment types (in-person or telehealth). This makes it easier for patients to search specifically for integrative or alternative healthcare practitioners, rather than browsing broad GP directories.
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), around 60% of Australians live with at least one chronic condition, highlighting the importance of clear, accessible healthcare information. By being listed on CannaDr, your practice becomes more visible to people exploring their healthcare options.
Research shows many Australians are making use of telehealth services for convenience and accessibility. CannaDr supports this by allowing practitioners to list telehealth options alongside in-person visits. Telehealth use increased during COVID-19 and remains widely adopted. Nearly 90% of Australians who used telehealth reported they would be willing to use it again.
Data also shows that 32.7% of people with chronic conditions had a telehealth consult in 2023–24, compared with 13.8% without. By including telehealth availability on your CannaDr profile, your practice aligns with these ongoing patterns in healthcare use.
Accessibility: Telehealth listings ensure patients in regional or remote areas can see your availability.
Listing on CannaDr is not only about visibility to patients; it also places your practice within a community of integrative healthcare practitioners. The directory includes doctors, nurses and specialists with an interest in holistic and integrative care. This professional setting allows you to present your credentials alongside other authorised prescribers and makes your profile accessible to colleagues who may be looking to collaborate.
According to the Australian Digital Health Agency, telehealth platforms can support professional collaboration and networking. In the same way, CannaDr provides opportunities for practitioners to connect and engage within the alternative healthcare space.
CannaDr is designed exclusively for AHPRA-registered practitioners, ensuring that every profile reflects verified and trustworthy professional information.
By showcasing your areas of practice, whether holistic care, integrative medicine, or medicinal cannabis prescribing, along with consultation formats, fees, and availability, you provide patients with the clarity they need to make confident and informed choices.
This transparent, patient-centred approach not only builds trust but also supports compliance with TGA and AHPRA guidelines by maintaining factual, professional communication.
The Medical Board of Australia notes that healthcare advertising must avoid misleading or exaggerated claims, particularly when addressing vulnerable groups. By listing factual details on CannaDr, practitioners can communicate their services in a professional and compliant manner.
Ethical presentation: Profiles avoid promotional claims, focusing only on factual details.
Listing on CannaDr offers a practical way to increase your practice’s visibility. There are no upfront fees; you can create a profile at no cost and only contribute a referral fee when bookings are made through the platform. This model allows practitioners to participate without an initial financial commitment.
The directory also provides tools such as online booking integration, which can support workflow efficiency and reduce administrative tasks for staff. By being listed, your practice gains a professional presence in a national directory without the need for additional advertising.
CannaDr helps authorised prescribers and alternative healthcare practitioners strengthen their digital presence, improve visibility, and connect with patients in a professional, compliant way. By creating a profile on the CannaDr healthcare platform, you can present your practice clearly, join a professional network, and support your practice’s growth.
