Current consultations
UDI - Consent to Supply consultation
In March 2025, the Therapeutic Goods (Medical Devices) Regulations 2002 were updated to include Unique Device Identification (UDI) requirements. Mandatory compliance begins 1 July 2026 for Class III and IIb devices, with lower classes phased in over later years.
To support sponsors who may not meet UDI requirements by the deadline, the TGA is proposing a streamlined consent to supply process with reduced fees, allowing continued supply while organisations work toward compliance. This approach reflects the low safety risk for devices already on the market.
The consultation attachment outlines the proposed process and fee options.
Opened: 10 December 2025
Closes: 23 January 2026
