For therapeutic goods manufacturers in Australia, ensuring regulatory compliance is not merely a formality; it’s a foundational component of quality assurance and market access. Quality Systems Now (QSN), your premier Australian regulatory compliance specialists, understands the complexities and stringent requirements involved in the manufacturing, handling, and distribution of therapeutic goods. Our mission is to assist companies in navigating Australia’s regulatory landscape, securing Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) compliance, and achieving global standards in manufacturing and distribution.

Why Regulatory Compliance is Critical for Therapeutic Goods

Therapeutic goods, encompassing medicines, medical devices, and biological products, must comply with high standards to protect public health. In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 mandates that all therapeutic goods meet stringent quality, safety, and efficacy standards to minimize risk to consumers. These goods must be registered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) and undergo rigorous evaluations by the TGA. Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties, including suspension from the ARTG, fines, and even a ban from the Australian market. For therapeutic goods manufacturers, partnering with experienced compliance specialists like QSN ensures that each step of the process aligns with regulatory requirements, helping avoid costly mistakes and delays.

Our Expertise: Tailored Solutions for Regulatory Compliance

Quality Systems Now provides targeted support to therapeutic goods manufacturers, offering comprehensive services that streamline compliance with TGA and other international regulatory bodies. Our team of experts stays abreast of regulatory changes, enabling us to deliver customized guidance that reflects current best practices in compliance.

1. Site Licensing and Certification Support

For companies involved in manufacturing, importing, or exporting therapeutic goods, site licensing is an essential regulatory requirement. QSN assists companies in obtaining the necessary licenses from the TGA, ensuring facilities comply with the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards that underpin product quality. Our experts review manufacturing processes, assess facility design, and support organizations in implementing the corrective actions required to meet TGA criteria. By fostering continuous compliance, we empower our clients to maintain high standards of operation while minimizing risk.

2. GMP Compliance and Quality Systems

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is the cornerstone of product safety in therapeutic goods manufacturing. QSN works with companies to establish or improve their GMP systems, providing guidance on all aspects of production, quality control, and documentation. Our GMP experts conduct thorough assessments to identify gaps in existing quality systems and develop targeted action plans that ensure full compliance. This includes everything from creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to advising on facility layout and personnel training.

We understand that GMP compliance is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why our approach is customized, addressing the unique requirements of each manufacturing site. Our team is experienced in adapting international GMP standards to meet the specific requirements of Australian regulators, offering practical solutions that streamline compliance while maximizing operational efficiency.

3. Stability Program Development and Management

Stability testing is crucial for ensuring that therapeutic goods retain their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout their shelf life. QSN offers support for stability program development, aligning with both TGA guidelines and international standards such as ICH Q1A (R2). We assist in setting up stability testing programs that monitor critical parameters, including temperature and humidity, to ensure product integrity over time. By implementing a robust stability program, manufacturers can demonstrate product reliability, meet regulatory expectations, and instill confidence in end-users.

4. Process Validation and Control

In the field of therapeutic goods manufacturing, process validation is an integral requirement for maintaining consistent product quality. QSN provides in-depth support in establishing validation protocols that meet TGA standards, covering the validation of equipment, processes, and analytical methods. Our team guides manufacturers in conducting Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) as part of the validation process. By achieving a validated manufacturing process, companies can ensure that their products consistently meet quality specifications, thereby reducing variability and enhancing consumer safety.

5. Product Development and Technical Transfers

Developing new therapeutic goods and scaling up production pose unique challenges in terms of compliance. QSN helps clients navigate product development stages, from initial research through to commercialization, providing regulatory guidance to streamline technical transfer processes. We work closely with manufacturers to establish critical process parameters (CPPs) and ensure that all products and processes meet TGA requirements. Our team’s expertise in product lifecycle management supports clients in bringing high-quality, compliant products to market with minimal disruption.

6. Regulatory Audits and Training

Audits are essential to verifying compliance with TGA standards and identifying areas for improvement. QSN conducts comprehensive regulatory audits, assessing manufacturing sites, quality systems, and documentation practices. Our experts provide actionable feedback, helping companies rectify compliance issues before they escalate. Beyond auditing, we offer training programs that empower employees with the knowledge they need to uphold compliance, maintain quality standards, and respond to regulatory changes.
