Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Compliance

Ensuring compliance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) standards is crucial for businesses and professionals operating in the therapeutic goods space. Rapidly changing regulations, often in response to evolving social attitudes, add an extra layer of complexity. Featherstone & Associates acknowledges the dynamic nature of the health, sciences and medical sectors and provides specialised guidance and support to navigate the intricacies of TGA compliance.

Navigating TGA Regulatory Framework

The TGA plays a pivotal role in safeguarding public health by regulating the supply, import, export, and manufacturing of therapeutic goods in Australia. Featherstone & Associates possesses a deep understanding of the TGA regulatory framework, providing clients with tailored legal solutions to ensure compliance with applicable laws and standards.

Greenwashing and TGA Compliance in the Beauty and Health Sectors

As consumer awareness grows, issues such as greenwashing have become a major focus, particularly in the beauty sector. Greenwashing involves misleading marketing claims related to environmental and health benefits.

Featherstone & Associates recognises the significance of addressing this concern and offers specialised services to beauty sector brands, medical professionals, and health-related businesses to ensure their marketing claims align with TGA regulations and are not misleading to consumers.
