TIKUN helps patients who seek improved health outcomes with leading medical cannabis treatments.

Australia has some of the world's most innovative health initiatives. It also has some of the best growing climates on the globe. 

TIKUN combines these great advantages, developed with decades of research in medical cannabis, to deliver a new era to modern medicine.    

A doctor led group of companies that is patient focused to provide high quality service and cannabis products. 

United in Compassion is Australia’s Peak Medicinal Cannabis advocacy body which helped bring about the 2016 legislative changes that made lawful cultivation of the plant for medical and research purposes possible.

Founded in 2014 by Lucy Haslam and her late son Dan, UIC’s main functions since then have been to promote education and knowledge around clinical uses of cannabis as well campaigning for improved patient access to what, for many, can be a life-saving medicine. This is in light of the fact that the 2016 Amendments to the Narcotic Drugs Act have failed and are failing to deliver on the promise to deliver affordable cannabis products for sick Australians who need them.

UIC's philosophy is the dignified alleviation of suffering with compassion and empathy according to ‘Dan’s Test.’

Its primary mission is advocating for patient access to Full Spectrum herbal Medicinal Cannabis extracts and dried herb cannabis in a manner which is safe, effective, affordable, equitable and favourable to patients. 

Dan’s test sets expectations of high quality products that are legally and easily accessible with no patient left behind.

Such products should be:

• Equitably and favourably accessible to patients;
• Naturally outdoor/greenhouse grown herbal Medicinal Cannabis;
• Cultivated using organic principles;
• Available in of a wide range of varieties (chemovars) to treat an equally wide range of health conditions;
• Manufactured with Full Spectrum plant extraction processes;
• Dried Herb (cannabis floral clusters) for use in electric personal vaporisation devices;
• Of high standards of production & manufacturing, by employing relevant of Quality Assurance practices.
• 
  

Dan Haslam was instrumental in bringing the issue of the therapeutic use of herbal Medicinal Cannabis to the forefront and into the national Australian consciousness. He benefited dramatically from his use of local Australian grown herbal medicinal varieties of cannabis during his battle with cancer.

Though he passed away on the 24th of February 2015, his legacy lives on.

‘Every step we take on Medical Cannabis, will be built on the footsteps Dan Haslam left behind.’

All Country Women’s Associations are non-sectarian, non-party-political and not-for-profit.

The National body is a Company Limited by Guarantee and interacts with the States and Territory under a Federated Model. It is the largest Women's NGO in Australia with over 17,000 members.

Its Objective is to advance the rights and equity of women, families and communities in Australia through advocacy and empowerment, especially for those living in regional, rural and remote Australia.

CWA is affiliated with the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) which represents over 9 million rural women in 75 countries worldwide and works to, among other things, raise the standard of living, provide practical support for women and girls and eliminate gender discrimination.

Its membership is diverse and includes women from all age groups; from urban and rural areas; from indigenous and CALD communities; working and retired. 

Cannim is built on three core principles, safety, science and scale. 

Cannim believes these are necessary to be successful in the medicinal cannabis arena. The cannabis industry is plighted with product inconsistency and unfounded claims. Through keeping these values at the foundation of everything it does, Cannim is able to ensure quality cannabis and consistency of supply for healthier outcomes. 

Based on its core principles, Cannim has put itself in the forefront of Cannabinoid research, utilising state of the art operating procedures to ensure safe, effective and consistent products. 

The large investments in farms located in Jamaica and Australia enables production at a significant scale.
