An overview of faecal microbiota transplant products

Information about how therapeutic goods move through the regulatory lifecycle from early product development to post-market.

If you're planning to bring a faecal microbiota transplant (FMT) product to market in Australia, this is your starting point. 

You must understand how we regulate FMT products and your obligations. This includes: 

  • selecting the correct biological classification 

  • preparing clinical and manufacturing evidence (if necessary) 

  • complying with applicable standards. 

Being well-prepared helps ensure your product meets Australian requirements and avoids regulatory delays. 

Start by learning your responsibilities and planning each stage of your product’s lifecycle. 

You must meet certain obligations to legally supply therapeutic goods in Australia. This section contains guidance and information specific to biologicals. You may also have to meet obligations that apply to all biologicals and all products.
