Campaigners fighting for subsidised access to medicinal cannabis for military veterans with PTSD will use the upcoming Royal Commission into defence and veteran suicide to further promote the group’s cause as its petition on change.org topped 15,000 signatories.
Last week, veteran Derek Pyrah, his GP Dr Matty Moore and United in Compassion founder Lucy Haslam met with shadow minister for veterans’ affairs Shayne Neumann who recommended using the commission to push for a change in policy.

Thank you for this coverage, Martin. FYI, I was also at the meeting with Shayne Neumann, to represent, with Lucy, AMCA and SCCAC. Access for veterans to medicinal cannabis is a very high priority for both of our organisations and our members. Both AMCA and SCCAC have had intentions to make a submission to the Royal Commission since it was announced and will do so before the deadline currently set for March 2022. Gail Wiseman, General Manager, AMCA.
