ABOUT US
Who are we?
Pioneers, ambassadors and stakeholders striving for a common good
AMCA's Board and Ambassadors include many of the pioneers of the Australian Medicinal Cannabis space. These pioneers have worked tirelessly to make small but important inroads into what has been a complicated, and often overburdened, regulatory space.
AMCA believes firmly that it is essential to have a broad mix of members with a wide set of skills, in order to meet the needs of each facet of the complex medicinal cannabis industry, especially in these early days of industry development.
AMCA will provide the formal framework of an association to assist committed individuals and organisations to steer the industry in a positive direction. With a focus on positive problem solving, and by prioritising, planning and targeting our actions, we can multiply the impact and make a difference, together.
AMCA is a registered not-for-profit organisation that has been endorsed for its charitable status by the Australian Tax Office (effective 16 June 2020).
Our Vision
To see Australia leading the world in quality, affordable and accessible medicinal cannabis.

To unite and empower committed individuals and organisations to ensure that Australia’s medicinal cannabis system is world class and patient focused.

Shaping the industry to leave no-one behind
AMCA is focused on supporting a healthy and robust industry, which will ultimately benefit Australian patients.
Whilst AMCA has a firm vision for this to be a more patient-centric industry, it requires that no-one area is left behind.
With its broad membership, AMCA is ideally positioned to represent and advocate for the interests and concerns of patients, health care professionals, researchers, cultivators, manufacturers, exporters and affilated organisations serving the Australian medicinal cannabis industry.

Building an inclusive community within the industry
AMCA recognises the broad variety of stakeholders involved and our intention is to support all stakeholders in collaborative activities that will promote medicinal cannabis in a positive light to all.
AMCA especially sees the need to engage with the public and its health workforce. We aim to assist networking to bridge educational gaps and create a better supported workforce. For this reason we will engage directly wherever possible with patient advocacy groups, individual health professionals and their representative bodies, as well as industry and affiliated members.

Tenacity
Proactive- Positive – Problem solving
Our pioneers have often had to tackle challenges from which others have shied away, but they have nevertheless stepped up to do so when patients and industry have suffered.
Like most things associated with Medicinal Cannabis, AMCA appreciates that we are playing ‘the long game’ and that it is important to be at the table to help shape the industry into something that we can all be proud of.
We look forward to supporting our members in the long term in efforts to realise a medicinal cannabis industry that is beneficial, sustainable, profitable, accessible and affordable to all.
