Which Australian agency evaluates medicines before registration?

In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration evaluates medicines before they can be registered for use. The TGA reviews safety, quality, and effectiveness based on evidence from clinical trials and manufacturing data, ensuring products meet standards before they appear on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. It also checks labeling, advertising, and plans for ongoing safety monitoring. For context, MHRA is the UK regulator, EMA is the European Medicines Agency, and FDA is the US regulator.
