Medical Device Registration in Australia: An Overview
Medical Devices and In-Vitro Diagnostics are overseen by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), a division of the Australian Government’s Department of Health.
Before any medical device can be supplied in Australia, the device must be included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is regulated by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

TGA Classification of Medical Devices Australia
Medical devices in Australia are classified based on their intended purpose and associated risk. The classification considers factors such as invasiveness, duration of use, location, and energy source. The classes range from low-risk devices (Class I) to high-risk devices (Class III and Active Implantable Medical Devices – AIMD). Similarly, In-Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) devices are classified based on their intended purpose and the level of public health or personal risk they pose.
