In Australia, especially for therapeutic goods and foods, it is generally very difficult to take a label that is universally accepted in most countries and gain approval without changes. Australian labelling rules are very particular especially with respect to medicines, and for OTC medicine and foods, the label content is also very closely linked to advertising plans. If you are planning a world wide launch, we can help review your labels to ensure that the Australian specific requirements are maintained while still achieving a globally acceptable presentation of your labelling.
The labelling rules in Australia for medicines are complex as they require reference to more than one guideline – We have developed checklists to ensure that we cover all the necessary guidance rules that need to be taken into account. We look at your labels from both the regulatory and marketing aspects and will give you workable options to consider.
For Listed medicines we ensure that your label statements are in line with your available evidence summary.
