TGA SME Assist Workshop: Meeting Your Obligations (Perth)

Overview

Navigating the regulatory maze can be a challenge, especially if you're new to regulation. 

SME Assist in partnership with The Western Australian Health Translation Network presents Meeting Your Obligations: a free workshop aimed at beginners who are unfamiliar with therapeutic goods regulation. This may include:

• small to medium enterprises (SMEs)
• start-ups
• researchers

If you are making therapeutic claims about a product or have a product that is likely to be considered a therapeutic good, this workshop will help you understand your responsibilities at different stages of the regulation process.

What will be covered

Basics of regulation - An overview of therapeutic goods regulation, TGA’s role and sponsor responsibilities when supplying  therapeutic goods in Australia.

Case studies - Explaining the general principles of market authorisation, manufacturing, advertising and post market vigilance as they relate to therapeutic goods.

Q&A with TGA staff - An opportunity to ask general questions.

Product focus (subject to demand) - Various breakout sessions will be held in the afternoon focusing on specific products. Please nominate your area of interest when you register:

• Medical devices (e.g. surgical instruments, bandages)
• Complementary medicines (e.g. vitamins, nutritional supplements)
• Prescription medicines (e.g. antibiotics, monoclonal antibodies)*
• Biologicals (e.g. tissue-based products, stem cells)*
• Over the counter medicines (e.g. paracetamol, lozenges)*

*Note these are likely to be a combined product focus session.
