An Australian Public Assessment Record (AusPAR) provides information about the evaluation of a prescription medicine and the considerations that led the TGA to approve or not approve a prescription medicine submission. AusPARs are prepared and published by the TGA.

An AusPAR is prepared for submissions that relate to new chemical entities, generic medicines, major variations, and extensions of indications.

Prior to publishing the AusPAR, the TGA provides the sponsor with an opportunity to review the AusPAR (allowing 14 calendar days) with the purpose of ensuring the document does not contain commercially confidential information.

AusPARs have begun being published by the TGA and are available at: Australian Public Assessment Report (AusPAR) for prescription medicines
