Compliance Services

Hemp is a regulated crop, and the grower needs to hold all necessary state and/or federal licenses to grow hemp. In Australia, licences to grow hemp for food and fibre applications are administered by the various state Departments of Agriculture. For cultivating, and manufacturing cannabis for medicinal use, other licences from the Office of Drug Control and various state Departments of Health are required. We support your application to obtain any licences and permits and to comply with your licence requirements (e.g., record keeping requirements, crop THC% testing, and reporting). We have produced outstanding results for hemp growers over the last decade through engagement with professionals in the hemp industry and collaborative consultations.
