The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) monitors the safety of therapeutic goods approved for use in Australia. This includes medicines, vaccines, biological therapies and medical devices.
As part of our surveillance system, we receive reports of possible health problems – also called adverse events or side effects - associated with therapeutic goods. These reports are used to detect unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse events in the Australian population (signal detection).
Anyone can report an adverse event to us including members of the public, health professionals and pharmaceutical companies.
To report a suspected adverse event go to:
- Report an adverse event or problem (consumers)
- Report an adverse event or problem (health professionals)
- Report and adverse event or problem (industry).
Information from these reports is published in the DAEN – medicines and the DAEN – medical devices.
