In Australia, the regulation of supplementary medicines is overseen by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which enforces some of the most stringent standards globally for the production and packaging of these supplements.

Australia has implemented a risk-based strategy for regulating all types of medicines, including complementary ones, to guarantee their safety, effectiveness, and quality. This is achieved through risk assessment and classification, registration and documentation processes, as well as post-market monitoring. This regulatory framework offers robust protections for the country’s medicines market.
