International engagements

We work collaboratively with several overseas regulators on various projects and shared initiatives.

Last updated

We maintain strong working relationships with international agencies and overseas regulators to help protect public health in Australia. These partnerships support our post-market monitoring of therapeutic goods and ensure our regulatory framework reflects international best practices.

We collaborate with global counterparts on joint projects and shared initiatives and actively participate in international forums to address key regulatory issues and emerging challenges.

To learn more about our current international engagement approach and key global business priorities, read the TGA international engagement strategy 2021-2025.

Past international engagement strategies

Our international engagement strategies provide the overarching direction for our international engagement and articulates our key international business priorities.

Use of international assessments

We often rely on assessments from comparable overseas regulators (CORs) and international assessment bodies to support our decision-making. This approach helps us reduce duplication and streamline our processes.

Depending on the type of therapeutic good, we apply specific criteria to determine which overseas regulators are considered comparable. To explore an example of this, view Use of market authorisation evidence from comparable overseas regulators and assessment bodies for medical devices (including IVDs).
