The Therapeutic Goods
Administration (TGA) is a unit of
the Australian Government
Department of Health and Ageing.
The TGA carries out a range of
assessment and monitoring
activities to ensure therapeutic
goods available in Australia are
of an acceptable standard with the
aim of ensuring that the
Australian community has access,
within a reasonable time, to
therapeutic advances.
TGA activities include managing
and coordinating, on a cost
recovery basis, the TGA's
international activities,
particularly in relation to
advisory and training services for
regulatory matters. TGA integrates
it's activities with similar
projects initiated by Food
Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ),
and coordinate TGA's commitment to
harmonise therapeutics regulation
with New Zealand.
