28 June 2018 - Medicines Australia welcomes the introduction of the Therapeutic Goods Amendment (2018 Measures No. 1) Bill 2018 into the Parliament today.

This legislation is the culmination of working together with the sector to review the issue of medicines shortages in Australia. The Medicines Partnership of Australia and a broader group of stakeholders, led by the Therapeutic Goods Administration have developed a comprehensive protocol, which is being implemented through this legislation.

This legislation will go a long way to ensuring there is timely and relevant information available on the supply of medicines, which will assist patients and their doctors (and other health care providers) to manage their treatment plans to receive uninterrupted care.
