Following a thorough and independent review, the TGA has decided that the following treatments meet the high safety, efficacy and quality standards required for use in Australia.

Clinical guidelines may recommend the 'off-label' use of some medicines already included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), such as dexamethasone, for the treatment of COVID-19. Off-label prescribing refers to the use of a registered medicine outside of the indications, dose, route of administration or patient group included in the TGA-approved Product Information (PI). Off-label use is not illegal, but is subject to the prescriber's clinical judgement in the setting of informed consent.

The CMI for each treatment is published and updated by the Australian sponsor.
