ANTG — Australian Natural Therapeutics Group — is a pharmaceutical cannabis producer based in Armidale, regional NSW: Australian-grown, Australian-made, and prescription-only. Its products are accessed through the TGA's medical cannabis pathways, prescribed by a doctor and dispensed through a licensed supply chain — not purchased over the counter, and not available through any consumer-facing shop. For over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil in Byron Bay and across Northern NSW, FraLa CBD is the local online option — five oil families, shipped to your door, no prescription required. ANTG's own products and operations are covered in full on its official site.

What ANTG is — and where it sits in the Australian cannabis landscape
There is something worth noting about ANTG when you look at it from a Byron Bay perspective. Both ANTG and FraLa CBD are NSW entities — ANTG in the New England tablelands at Armidale, and FraLa CBD on the Far North Coast. The geography is different (the two towns sit about six hours apart), but both are products of regional New South Wales, and in a national cannabis market that is still largely Sydney-centric, that shared state context matters.
Australian Natural Therapeutics Group was founded in 2016 by entrepreneur Matthew Cantelo and began production operations in Armidale in 2019. The company operates on a vertically integrated model — it grows its own cannabis cultivars, processes them at its own facility, and manufactures the finished pharmaceutical products, all within Australia. This is not a company that sources raw plant material from overseas: the whole production chain, from seed to formulation, is domestic.
ANTG is an Australian Made licensee and carries the kangaroo mark on its products. In 2025, the company announced a distribution agreement with Curaleaf to supply Australian-grown cannabis into the United Kingdom — a notable export step for a producer rooted in regional NSW. A second facility near Brisbane provides additional production capacity alongside the Armidale base.
ANTG's certifications — GMP and GACP explained
Two certifications define how ANTG operates within the Australian prescription supply chain.
GMP — Good Manufacturing Practice — is the pharmaceutical manufacturing standard administered by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. It governs every aspect of prescription medicine production: facilities, equipment, documentation, quality controls, and batch testing. GMP is a regulatory requirement for any prescription medicine manufactured in Australia. What is notable about ANTG's GMP status is that it covers cannabis flower as a finished pharmaceutical product, not just extracted oils or capsules.
GACP — Good Agricultural and Collection Practice — is the agricultural-stage standard. Where GMP applies once raw material enters a manufacturing facility, GACP applies at the cultivation level: how the plant is grown, what growing methods are used, what pest management is applied, and how harvested material is handled before entering processing. ANTG plants are grown outdoors under sunlight, in a natural renewable growing medium, without chemical pesticides.
ANTG is the only Australian producer certified to both GMP and GACP standards for Australian-grown, Australian-made cannabis flower. Holding both means quality oversight begins at the agricultural level — before the plant reaches manufacturing — and runs through to the finished pharmaceutical product. Most Australian producers hold GMP without the agricultural accreditation, sourcing raw plant material from third parties. ANTG's whole-chain approach is a real differentiator in the domestic market.
ANTG's product range — prescription names and how they reach patients
ANTG's range covers dried cannabis flower and whole-plant oil formulations, all sitting in the prescription medical cannabis category. The named lines include ANTG Eve, ANTG Solace, and ANTG Rocky — each a distinct cultivar or formulation in ANTG's portfolio — alongside further products including ANTG Luna, ANTG Juno, and ANTG Mariposa. These are pharmaceutical product identifiers, not consumer brand names in the retail sense.
No ANTG product can be purchased directly by a consumer. The pathway to any ANTG formulation requires:
- A consultation with an AHPRA-registered doctor or nurse practitioner (in-person or via a telehealth cannabis clinic).
- If appropriate, the doctor applies under the TGA's Special Access Scheme (SAS) or prescribes under an Authorised Prescriber (AP) arrangement.
- The prescription is filled through a licensed healthcare wholesaler and dispensed via a pharmacy connected to ANTG's supply chain.
The ANTG official site is oriented toward healthcare professionals, not consumers — there is no cart, no consumer ordering process, and no direct-to-patient service. ANTG is a producer and pharmaceutical supplier; the clinical and dispensing functions are handled entirely by separate entities.
From our CBD oil range
CBN Oil 3000mg – Cannabinol

Pet CBD Oil 2000mg – Full Spectrum
Pet-formulated CBD oil — same hemp source as our human range, neutral MCT carrier, no human-targeted flavours or sweeteners. 2000mg in 50ml of MCT oil (40mg per ml). Best introduced under guidance from your vet.
CBD Oil 6000mg – Full Spectrum
The whole-hemp profile — CBD alongside the smaller cannabinoids and terpenes from the same extraction. Trace THC stays under 0.3%. 6000mg in 50ml of MCT oil (120mg per ml).
Prescription medical cannabis vs OTC CBD oil in Northern NSW
The distinction between prescription medical cannabis and over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil matters — and it is easy to blur the two when both can be called "CBD oil."
Prescription medical cannabis — where ANTG's products sit — is assessed and prescribed by a doctor under the TGA's SAS or AP framework. The prescription is dispensed by a pharmacy. These products can include THC at formulation-specific levels. Access is medically supervised throughout. The CBD oil laws in Australia guide covers the full regulatory framework.
Over-the-counter hemp-derived CBD oil — what FraLa CBD sells — is a different category entirely. These products are characterised by composition: spectrum (full-spectrum or broad-spectrum), milligrams of cannabidiol, THC content (under 0.3% for full-spectrum; 0% for broad-spectrum), and carrier oil. Purchased directly online, without a prescription or consultation. The qualifying decision belongs to the buyer.
Neither category substitutes for the other. They operate under different regulatory frameworks and serve different purposes. For prescription medical cannabis — including any ANTG product — the route is through a doctor and the TGA's access pathways. For OTC hemp-derived CBD oil shipped to Byron Bay or anywhere across Northern NSW, FraLa CBD is the direct option.
For context on other Australian pharmaceutical cannabis producers in the same prescription space, the Cann Group review and the ECS Botanics review cover two further ASX-listed producers.
