The Program
Katelyn’s Gift, Ecofibre’s Compassionate Access Program has been founded to support affordable access to Ananda Hemp’s Medicinal Cannabis range for children who could benefit from the product, yet may not be able to afford it.
Ecofibre is proud to support Katelyn’s Gift, by providing Ananda Hemp’s Full and Broad spectrum hemp extract range for the program.

Inspired by Katelyn
Katelyn Lambert was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome at the age of two in 2014. This life-changing event for Ecofibre’s first Chairman, Barry Lambert, set off a chain of events that saw him and his family dedicate themselves to the research and education of Medicinal Cannabis in Australia and Globally. Ultimately, their goal was to ensure all Australians who needed it could access high-quality, affordable medicinal cannabis.
Katelyn’s Gift has been inspired by the medical success of Medicinal Cannabis access for Katelyn Lambert.
“We are extremely proud to be able to help the Lambert family deliver on their vision to ensure all Australians can affordably access high quality CBD to help improve their health and wellbeing. We see a wonderful future for Australians in need of a hemp-derived CBD and continue to engage with those pioneers who drive change to make the world a better place. Ecofibre will continue to champion innovation and change. We believe fear is the greatest threat to progress and we will continue to use science and our voice to ensure progress never stops, as patients and customers are at the core of what we do.”
