Therapeutic Goods Act 1989

This Act (other than Part 4‑8A or Part 6‑1A) applies to:

things done by corporations; and

things done by natural persons or corporations in so far as those things are done:

in the course of, or in preparation for, trade or commerce between Australia and a place outside Australia, among the States, between a State and a Territory or between 2 Territories; or

under a law of the Commonwealth relating to the provision of pharmaceutical or repatriation benefits; or

in relation to the Commonwealth or in relation to an authority of the Commonwealth.

Part 4‑8A is about mandatory reporting, by healthcare facilities, of adverse events involving medical devices.

Without limiting the effect of this Act apart from this subsection, this Act also has the effect it would have if the reference in paragraph (1)(a) to things done by corporations were confined to things done by trading corporations for the purposes of their trading activities.
