The Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) is the central register maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. It lists medicines, medical devices and other therapeutic goods that have been evaluated and approved for lawful supply in Australia.
Inclusion on the ARTG generally indicates that a product has met relevant standards for quality, safety and, where applicable, efficacy. Products not on the register are described as unapproved and may only be accessed through specific pathways such as the Special Access Scheme or the Authorised Prescriber scheme.
The ARTG is a foundational reference point in the Australian regulatory system and is frequently cited when distinguishing approved from unapproved therapeutic goods.
