Australia New Zealand Therapeutic Products Agency (ANZTPA)
20 June 2011
The Australian and New Zealand Governments have agreed to proceed with a joint scheme for regulation of therapeutic goods (ie medicines, medical devices, etc).
The creation of a joint regulatory scheme across both countries will safeguard public health and safety, while encouraging economic integration and benefitting industry in both countries.
Over time, the joint arrangements will be administered by a single regulatory agency, the Australia New Zealand Therapeutic Products Agency, which will absorb the current regulators - Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration and New Zealand's Medsafe.
