Australian TGA Sponsor

Your Gateway to the Australian Market

Expanding into Australia? Let’s make it happen. For overseas medical device manufacturers, entering the Australian market requires a locally established sponsor. That’s where we come in.

As your Australian Medical Device Sponsor, we simplify regulatory processes, act as your direct link to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and support applications for inclusion in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). From your first steps into the market to ongoing regulatory responsibilities, we’re here to make your journey smoother, more efficient, and easier to navigate.

What is an Australian TGA Sponsor?

An Australian Medical Device Sponsor is a locally established person or company legally responsible for sponsoring, supplying, importing or exporting medical devices supplied in Australia.

For most medical devices, inclusion in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) is required before they can be legally supplied. Your sponsor manages the relevant applications and serves as the primary point of contact between your company and the TGA. But the role doesn’t end with market entry. A sponsor also has ongoing regulatory obligations, including maintaining relevant information, responding to authority requests, and supporting post-market compliance.

With MEDAGENT Australia by your side, you gain a dedicated local partner who understands the regulatory landscape and helps you stay focused on what matters most: bringing your innovations to the Australian market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Overseas Manufacturer need an Australian Sponsor?

Generally, yes. Overseas manufacturers need an Australian-based sponsor to supply medical devices in Australia, unless a specific regulatory exception applies. Your sponsor acts as your local regulatory representative and manages key responsibilities with the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

What is an ARTG inclusion & why does it matter ?

The Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) is the official register of therapeutic goods that can be legally supplied in Australia.

For most medical devices, ARTG inclusion is a mandatory step before entering the market. As your Australian Sponsor, MEDAGENT supports the application process, helping you navigate regulatory requirements and move towards market access with confidence.

Does the sponsor replace the manufacturer?

No. You as manufacturer remain responsible for the design, manufacturing, quality, and safety of your medical devices. MEDAGENT takes care of its responsibilities as your Australian Sponsor, including regulatory applications, communication with the TGA, and applicable ongoing compliance obligations.

What happens after ARTG inclusion?

As your Australian Sponsor, MEDAGENT supports ongoing regulatory compliance, including maintaining required records, managing relevant regulatory updates, reporting applicable adverse events, and coordinating responses to TGA requests or corrective actions.

Our goal is to help you maintain compliant market access while staying prepared for evolving regulatory requirements.
