'Meeting Your Obligations' workshops

Navigating the regulatory maze can be a challenge, especially if you're new to regulation.

SME Assist provides workshops on various topics to help small to medium enterprises (SMEs), researchers, start-ups and anyone who is unfamiliar with regulation understand how therapeutic goods are regulated in Australia.

This workshop will help you understand how therapeutic goods are regulated in Australia.

This is a free workshop aimed at beginners who are unfamiliar with or new to therapeutic goods regulation. This may include:

  • small to medium enterprises (SMEs)
  • start-ups

If you are making therapeutic claims about a product or have a product that is likely to be considered a therapeutic good, this workshop will help you understand your responsibilities at different stages of the regulation process.

PART I: Basics of regulation - an overview of therapeutic goods regulation, the role of TGA and sponsor responsibilities when supplying therapeutic goods in Australia.

PART II: Case studies - general principles of market authorisation, manufacturing, advertising and post-market monitoring as they relate to therapeutic goods.

PART III: : Q&A with TGA staff - opportunity to ask general questions.

PART IV: Product focus session (subject to demand) - various sessions focusing on specific product types.
