Who Can Benefit from Alternative Treatments?
In Australia, alternative treatments are an option for those enduring conditions persisting for over 3 months, where conventional treatments have fallen short.
Alternative medicines are prescribed for over 140 conditions, with more than a million prescriptions since 2016.
Any doctor can prescribe alternative medicine so long as patients meet the guidelines set by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration).

How Much Does Alternative Medicine Cost?
Consultation Costs
Your first visit to Alternaleaf costs $59. This includes the pre-screening, nurse's assessment, and doctor's appointment. The cost of follow-up visits starts at $59 and can vary. We offer extra support to help you every step of the way.
Alternative Medicine Cost
Most private health insurers cover some or all of the costs for alternative medicine. However, some of the largest health insurers in Australia still don’t offer coverage for alternative medicine, so you need to ensure your insurer offers coverage before making a claim.
Is There Discounted Concession Pricing?
Yes, the Alternaleaf Concession Program is available to all holders of a Commonwealth-issued Health Card, Veterans Card or Seniors Health & Pensioner Concession Card.
As a member of the program, you'll receive 10% off all consultation costs and prescribed medicines and access to a concession product range that costs 44% less than comparable plant medicine products (as of June 2023).
