Cann Group is an ASX-listed Australian company that cultivates and manufactures prescription medical cannabis. That's the headline, and it answers most of why people end up searching for it: it's a licensed producer, not a shop, and the public doesn't buy from it directly. So if you're in Newcastle and what you actually want is over-the-counter CBD oil — no consult, no script — that's a separate route. For that, there's CBD Oil Newcastle, an online CBD oil shop delivering across Hamilton, Charlestown, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and the rest of NSW.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Newcastle is a separate Australian shop that sells its own range of over-the-counter CBD oil — it is not Cann Group, is not affiliated with it, and is not a licensed medical-cannabis producer, cultivator or prescriber. Cann Group's own corporate information sits on its company site at canngrouplimited.com.
What Cann Group is
Let's define it properly, because the name comes up a lot without much explanation. Cann Group Limited was founded in 2014, is based in Melbourne, Victoria, and trades on the Australian Securities Exchange under the code CAN. It holds two Australian firsts: the first cannabis research licence, issued in February 2017, and the first medicinal cannabis cultivation licence, in March 2017.
In practical terms, it grows and makes product. The company runs an R&D facility in Melbourne and a large-scale cultivation and GMP manufacturing facility near Mildura, in north-west Victoria — that's where it breeds, cultivates, extracts and manufactures medical cannabis. Cann Group describes itself as a business-to-business medicinal cannabis company, which is the key detail: it supplies into the prescription supply chain, not to shoppers over the counter.
So, plainly: a licensed producer, not a storefront. A Cann Group product reaches a patient through a doctor, a prescription and the regulated medical pathway — not a checkout. Get that straight first, and a comparison with an OTC shop actually makes sense.
Prescription medical cannabis vs over-the-counter CBD oil
Worth spelling out, because the two get blurred. Prescription medical cannabis — the category Cann Group manufactures for — sits under the Therapeutic Goods Administration's regulated access pathways. A doctor assesses whether it's appropriate, and the product and dose are 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, with no consultation required. The two 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 route for that. We simply sell OTC CBD oil to people in Newcastle who want that specific product.
Buying over-the-counter CBD oil in Newcastle
CBD Oil Newcastle is an online CBD oil shop set up for Newcastle — no clinic, no consultation, no script. We describe every oil by what's in it, never by what it might do, and post across Hamilton, Charlestown, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and the rest of NSW in plain Australian dollars. For the whole-plant profile, our full-spectrum CBD oil keeps the legal trace of THC (under 0.3%); for none of it, our broad-spectrum CBD oil takes it out.
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 Newcastle sit 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:
- Licensed producer (Cann Group) — a company that cultivates and manufactures medical cannabis for the prescription supply chain. You don't buy from it; its products reach patients through a doctor and a script, under TGA-regulated pathways.
- Over-the-counter shop (CBD Oil Newcastle) — a place you buy hemp-derived CBD oil directly, described by spectrum, milligrams and carrier oil, with no 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 OTC product, the how-to-use guide explains how to read a CBD oil label and what the figures mean.
