The Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) is the central database of therapeutic goods that can be legally supplied in or exported from Australia. Medical devices included in the ARTG have sponsors. These sponsors take legal responsibility for the supply of their medical devices in or from Australia.
Medical device sponsors must have their product in the ARTG unless the product is exempt or excluded.
The first step in doing business with us is to set up an eBusiness Services account.
Once a sponsor has all the information, they can apply via TGA eBusiness Services.
