How much does CBD oil cost in Australia
CBD oil in Australia typically runs between $50 and $300+ per bottle. That’s a wide range. It’s also a misleading one, because the price on the label doesn’t tell you much until you know what’s inside the bottle — how many milligrams of CBD, what type of extract, how the oil was made and how large the bottle actually is.
Price per bottle is the number most people look at. Price per milligram of CBD is the number that actually matters. A $70 bottle containing 500 mg of CBD costs $0.14 per milligram. A $150 bottle containing 3000 mg costs $0.05 per milligram. The second bottle costs more upfront but delivers six times the CBD at roughly a third of the per-milligram price. That distinction shapes every comparison worth making.
This article breaks down what drives CBD oil pricing in Australia, how to compare products on an equal footing, and where the EU Labs range from Stillroot sits in that picture.
What determines the price of CBD oil
CBD concentration is the biggest price driver. A 3000 mg bottle contains more CBD than a 1000 mg bottle, and it costs more. Simple enough. But concentration also affects value — higher-milligram products almost always offer a lower cost per milligram. The raw material cost of CBD doesn’t scale linearly with concentration, so manufacturers pass some of that efficiency through to pricing.
Spectrum type plays a role too. Full spectrum extracts retain the full cannabinoid and terpene profile of the hemp plant, including trace THC below 0.3%. Broad spectrum removes the THC but keeps everything else. Both require careful processing. Isolate — pure CBD with nothing else — is often cheaper to produce but lacks the broader compound profile. EU Labs offers both full spectrum and broad spectrum options.
Extraction method matters more than most buyers realise. CO₂ extraction — the method EU Labs uses — requires expensive equipment and technical expertise. It produces a clean extract without residual solvents. Cheaper alternatives like ethanol or hydrocarbon extraction can leave trace contaminants behind if not done carefully. The equipment cost gets baked into the product price.
Third-party lab testing, GMP-certified manufacturing and the quality of the carrier oil (MCT coconut oil is the industry standard) all add cost. So does the bottle volume. A 50 mL bottle at 3000 mg is a different proposition from a 10 mL bottle at 3000 mg — same CBD, very different concentration per drop. Always check both numbers.
Pharmacy CBD vs buying online
Since February 2021, pharmacists in Australia can supply certain low-dose CBD products over the counter under Schedule 3 of the Poisons Standard. These products must meet specific TGA requirements around concentration and packaging. They tend to be priced at the higher end of the market — sometimes significantly higher — reflecting pharmacy margins, regulatory compliance costs and the limited number of approved products.
Online CBD oil isn’t sold through the Schedule 3 pathway and sits in a different regulatory category. Products sold online vary enormously in quality, testing standards and transparency. Some brands publish full third-party lab reports for every batch. Others publish nothing. Price alone doesn’t indicate which camp a product falls into.
The practical difference for buyers comes down to verification. With pharmacy CBD, the TGA has reviewed the product. With online CBD, you’re relying on the brand’s lab reports and manufacturing claims. That’s why independent testing and transparent batch reporting matter — they’re the online equivalent of regulatory oversight. EU Labs publishes a certificate of analysis for every batch, linked to the batch number on each bottle.
How to compare CBD oil prices properly
Step one: find the total milligrams of CBD in the bottle. Not the “hemp extract” amount — the actual CBD content. These aren’t the same number, and some brands blur the distinction. A bottle labelled “5000 mg hemp extract” might contain far less than 5000 mg of CBD. Look for the cannabinoid breakdown on the label or lab report.
Step two: divide the price by the total milligrams. That gives you the cost per milligram. Do this for every product you’re comparing. A $90 bottle at 1000 mg costs $0.09/mg. A $200 bottle at 12000 mg costs under $0.02/mg. The second product is dramatically better value even though the sticker price is higher.
Step three: check what you’re actually getting for that price. CO₂ extraction or solvent extraction? Independent lab reports or just a label claim? GMP manufacturing or an unknown facility? MCT carrier oil or something cheaper? Two products at the same price per milligram can be very different products underneath.
Ignore “compare at” pricing, crossed-out RRPs and percentage-off claims. These are marketing tools, not quality indicators. The numbers that matter are milligrams of CBD, price per milligram, and verifiable quality markers.
Where EU Labs pricing fits in
EU Labs keeps pricing straightforward. No inflated “compare at” figures. No rotating discount codes that make the actual price hard to pin down. The listed price is the price.
The range runs from the CBD Oil 3000mg Full Spectrum at the entry level through to the CBD Oil 12000mg Full Spectrum and CBD Oil 12000mg Broad Spectrum at the high-concentration end. All bottles are 50 mL. The 3000 mg products deliver 60 mg/mL; the 12000 mg products deliver 240 mg/mL. Same extraction method, same MCT carrier, same testing standard across the entire range.
Higher concentration means better value per milligram. The 12000 mg bottles contain four times the CBD of the 3000 mg bottles, but they don’t cost four times as much. People who’ve established their routine and know their preferred daily amount often move to the 12000 mg range for this reason — more CBD per dollar, fewer reorders.
Prices change, so rather than quoting specific figures here, browse the Stillroot shop page for current pricing. Every product page lists the total milligrams, concentration per millilitre and the price — everything you need to calculate the per-milligram cost yourself.
Getting the most value from your purchase
Buy the highest concentration you’re comfortable with. The per-milligram savings on 12000 mg products over 3000 mg products are substantial. If you’re new to CBD oil and want to start at a lower concentration for easier adjustment, the 3000 mg range makes sense as a starting point. Once you’ve found your routine, moving up to 12000 mg stretches your budget further.
Don’t chase the cheapest bottle. An unusually low price often signals corners cut on extraction, testing or raw materials. If a product is dramatically cheaper than everything else on the market and doesn’t provide lab reports to explain why, that’s not a bargain — it’s a risk. The cost of independent lab testing alone is significant, and brands that skip it can undercut on price easily.
Check the lab reports. Every claim a brand makes about concentration, purity and spectrum type should be verifiable through a third-party certificate of analysis. EU Labs links these reports to the batch number on each bottle. If a brand can’t or won’t show you a lab report, the milligram number on the label is just a guess.
Talk to a healthcare professional before purchasing. They can help you think through what concentration and spectrum type might suit your situation, which saves you from buying the wrong product and spending twice.
