So what is Heyday Medical? In plain terms, it's a telehealth medical-cannabis clinic — a place where a doctor assesses you and, if you're eligible, writes a prescription. It is not a shop, and the clinic now trades under the name Releaf. That matters, because plenty of people searching for it actually just want over-the-counter CBD oil they can buy outright. If that's you, here in Newcastle, with no consult and no script involved, there's CBD Oil Newcastle, an online CBD oil shop delivering across Hamilton, Charlestown, Lake Macquarie, Maitland.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Newcastle is a separate Australian shop selling its own over-the-counter CBD oil — it is not Heyday Medical, is not affiliated with it, and is not a medical-cannabis clinic or prescriber. Heyday Medical's own service is on its official site, which now redirects to its current Releaf brand.
How Heyday Medical works
Heyday Medical is a 100% Australian-owned, family-inspired clinic. Its team is made up of doctors, mental-health practitioners and nurses with experience in prescription plant medicines, and it operates mainly by telehealth across Australia, with some in-person clinics in Queensland and Victoria. Everything runs through a consultation. You can begin with a free, no-obligation pre-screening call, then book a paid appointment where a doctor reviews your health history and decides whether a prescription is clinically appropriate.
The pricing, under the current Releaf brand, is listed as $200 for the initial consultation, $125 for a first review and $88 for follow-ups, with Medicare rebates available through some doctors subject to availability. Anything prescribed is charged on top, since each treatment plan is individual. Put simply, it's a clinic — a pathway to a prescription — not a storefront you order from. Keep that in mind, because it's the whole basis for comparing it with an over-the-counter shop.
Prescription medical cannabis vs over-the-counter CBD oil
This is the distinction worth nailing down, since the two are so easily mixed up. What a clinic like Heyday Medical arranges is prescription medical cannabis: a doctor assesses you and, where appropriate, prescribes a product — possibly including THC — supplied under that script with medical oversight. Over-the-counter CBD oil is a different category entirely.
In 2021 the Therapeutic Goods Administration down-scheduled low-dose cannabidiol — up to 150mg a day — to a pharmacist-only medicine, while hemp-derived CBD oil is also sold online as a product described by its composition and bought without a consultation. The two are not substitutes for one another; they are separate routes with separate rules, and neither replaces the other. We don't present our shop as a stand-in for medical advice, a consultation or a prescription — that's what the clinic route is for. We simply sell over-the-counter CBD oil to people in Newcastle who want that particular product. The framework is on the TGA website.
Buying over-the-counter CBD oil in Newcastle
CBD Oil Newcastle is an online CBD oil shop set up for Newcastle — no clinic, no consult, no script. We describe each oil by what's in it rather than by what it might do, and we post across Hamilton, Charlestown, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and the rest of NSW in plain Australian dollars. If you want the whole-plant profile, our full-spectrum CBD oil keeps cannabidiol with the trace cannabinoids and terpenes, THC always under 0.3%. If you'd rather skip the THC, our broad-spectrum CBD oil removes it from that same whole-plant extract.
Two single-cannabinoid options round things out — CBG oil, which is cannabigerol, and a THC-free CBN oil, a cannabinol isolate — alongside a pet CBD oil made for animals. All five are 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. Our oils are imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam and held for dispatch within Australia. You can browse the full range and prices for Newcastle in one place.

What to weigh before you compare
A clinic and a shop answer different questions, so the comparison really comes down to which route you need:
- A clinic (Heyday Medical) — you want a doctor to assess you and, if it's suitable, prescribe; that can include THC products and ongoing oversight. It starts with a consultation and, if you're eligible, a prescription.
- An over-the-counter shop (CBD Oil Newcastle) — you want to buy hemp-derived CBD oil directly, picked by spectrum, milligrams and carrier oil, with no consultation. It starts and ends with the product.
Neither replaces the other, and if a medical assessment is what you're after, the clinic route is the right call. If it's the over-the-counter product instead, our how-to-use guide explains how to read a CBD oil label and measure a serving.
Common questions about Heyday Medical and CBD oil in Newcastle
Is Heyday Medical a shop? No. It's a telehealth clinic — now operating as Releaf — that arranges prescriptions after a consultation. You don't buy from it over the counter the way you would from an online CBD oil shop.
Do I need a prescription to buy CBD oil in Newcastle? Not for over-the-counter, hemp-derived CBD oil from a shop such as CBD Oil Newcastle. A clinic route like Heyday Medical is for prescription products, which is a separate pathway.
What's the difference from CBD Oil Newcastle? Heyday Medical is a clinic — consultation, doctor, prescription, and products that can include THC. CBD Oil Newcastle is an over-the-counter CBD oil shop: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, CBG, CBN and pet oils, bought directly and shipped across NSW to Hamilton, Charlestown, Lake Macquarie, Maitland.
How much does Heyday Medical cost? Under its current Releaf brand the listed pricing is $200 for the initial consultation, $125 for a first review and $88 for follow-ups, with Medicare rebates through some doctors subject to availability; any prescribed medication is separate and depends on the plan. CBD Oil Newcastle works differently — no consultation, no plan, so you pay only for the CBD oil itself, every price in Australian dollars on the shop page.
Is CBD oil legal in NSW? Yes, within the national framework: low-dose cannabidiol is pharmacist-only, and other or higher-strength products sit behind a prescription. We describe our oils by composition only and make no health claims; the rules are on the TGA website.
Where can I buy over-the-counter CBD oil in Newcastle? Online, from an Australian shop such as CBD Oil Newcastle — you can see the full range and prices for Newcastle and NSW together.
If a clinic and a medical assessment are what you're looking for, that's what Heyday Medical is for. But if you simply want to buy over-the-counter CBD oil in Newcastle — described plainly and shipped from within Australia — browse the full CBD oil range, real and lab-tested, delivered across NSW.
