Better Bud is an online clinic that connects eligible patients with Australian-registered healthcare professionals who prescribe plant-based medicine. If approved, your prescription is filled by a licensed pharmacy and delivered discreetly to your door. We handle the process end-to-end – no waiting rooms, no hassle.

Eligibility is determined by a practitioner during your consult. Generally, patients must have a chronic condition (lasting 3+ months) that hasn’t responded well to conventional treatments. Common examples include anxiety, insomnia, pain, or PTSD.

Your initial consultation is free with our nurse practioner. If you’re approved and choose to move forward, we charge a one-time medical consult fee of $69, subsequent reviews for repeat prescriptions are $49. You only pay if you're approved.
