Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG)
The ARTG is the public database of therapeutic goods that can be legally supplied in Australia. You can search the ARTG to find details of therapeutic goods approved for supply.
Information held in the ARTG includes product name and formulation details, and sponsor (company) and manufacturer details.
For more details and how to use the ARTG search function, go to Searching the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).
Search results from the ARTG include Consumer Medicine Information (CMI), Product Information (PI) and Public Summary documents. Not all CMI and PI documents are available on this website.

Access to therapeutic goods not on the ARTG
As with many aspects of the regulatory framework, there are situations where special policies have been developed in response to the needs of particular people or circumstances. Information on these policies and the relevant procedures can be found at:
- Prescribe an unapproved therapeutic good (health practitioners)
- Personal importation scheme
- Clinical trials
- Accessing medicines during a medicine shortage
These schemes cannot be used to facilitate the commercial supply of therapeutic goods.
