TGA - Australia Therapeutic Goods Administration

The Therapeutic Goods Administration is the Australian regulatory authority for therapeutic goods such as pharmaceuticals, blood products and tissues, or medical devices. It also ensures access to new therapeutic goods for the population and protects public health though the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (the Act). The TGA is a division of the Australian Department of Health and Ageing, part of the Department of Health.

In matters of medical device safety, quality, and performance, the TGA is advised by the Advisory Committee on Medical Devices (ACMD), formerly known as the Medical Device Evaluation Committee (MDEC). This committee also oversees premarket conformity assessment and post market monitoring of medical devices.
