ATG: ARTG? (2)

The first thing you should do is search the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) for the good you want to advertise.

In most cases therapeutic goods must be entered into the ARTG before they can be lawfully supplied in or exported from Australia.

We enter therapeutic goods in the ARTG when:

• higher risk therapeutic goods have been assessed as meeting the requirements for quality, safety and, where appropriate, efficacy and/or performance; or
• lower risk therapeutic good applications have been validated.

Important information

• If you are unsure whether the good is a therapeutic good, you should complete the 'Is my product a therapeutic good' decision tree first
• Goods entered in the ARTG are approved for specific uses, forms, dosages, and sponsors
• Medical devices may be difficult to identify in the ARTG as the trade name is not usually recorded
• If you are unsure if the good you want to advertise is in the ARTG, ask the supplier.

If you’d like to learn more about advertising therapeutic goods, you can access a range of resources on the TGA advertising hub.
