Therapeutic Goods Act 1989

The Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (TGA) is a piece of Australian legislation that was passed by the federal government in Canberra. The TGA created the Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990 (TGR) and the Therapeutic Goods Administration.[1][2][3][4] The Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods was also created by this Act.[5]

History

In 2020, the Administration re-classified nicotine as a prescription-only medication, meaning that under the TGA one would "still be able to use the ‘personal importation scheme’... to order online from (a) supplier (however) it would be clear that (one) would be required to have a prescription."[6]
