COMPASS Program
Lucy Haslam AO’s Vision, Delivered by Cannabis Warehouse

The COMPASS Program is a compassionate access initiative inspired by Lucy Haslam AO — a tireless advocate for patients navigating clinical and financial barriers to medicinal cannabis.

Lucy shared a clear vision with the Cannabis Warehouse team: to create a coordinated, ethical, and sustainable access pathway for patients in genuine need. Cannabis Warehouse committed its people, infrastructure, and resources to bring that vision to life.

How the COMPASS Program Works

Guided by Leading Associations & Participating Brands

The COMPASS Program is built to work in the real world — with clear roles, consistent communication, and shared accountability. Cannabis Warehouse coordinates the operational backbone so clinicians and participating partners can focus on what matters most: getting eligible patients the support they need, without unnecessary friction.

Streamlined Support for Patients in Need

Across Australia, compassionate access often breaks down because support can be inconsistent, time-limited, or difficult to navigate. The COMPASS Program was created to centralise and streamline access support — backed by operational execution from Cannabis Warehouse — so eligible patients receive clearer, more reliable outcomes.

Current compassionate access schemes

Often managed brand-by-brand, with varying rules, inconsistent patient support, and uneven visibility for clinicians.

Current challenge for patients

Patients can face partial assistance, restricted durations, and confusing processes — especially when they’re already under pressure.

Current engagement from brands

Many organisations want to help but lack the operational coordination needed to deliver consistent, scalable support.
