The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is Australia’s regulatory authority for therapeutic goods. They carry 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.
In Australia, Ayurvedic medicines are classified as ‘complementary medicines’ and are generally required to meet the same standards of quality and safety as other medicines.
Conclusively, TGA safeguards and enhances the health of the Australian community through effective and timely regulation of therapeutic goods.
