We monitor and respond to medical device supply disruptions across Australia. These can happen due to manufacturing issues, natural disasters, or sudden increases in demand. We work with suppliers, sponsors, and health departments to reduce the impact on patient care.
If you're a sponsor, we encourage you to notify us early about potential disruptions or shortages. This helps hospitals plan and avoid delays. You may be asked for quick updates so we can coordinate nationally.
If you're a healthcare professional, your clinical judgement is important in finding alternatives.
If you're a patient, you should speak to your healthcare providers about substitute devices when needed.
