While International Scientific Guidelines that are adopted in Australia are not mandated by legislation, they are intended to provide advice to applicants and/or sponsors to assist them in meeting legislative requirements. This includes the most appropriate way to interpret and fulfil the obligations to demonstrate safety, quality and efficacy as set out in the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. This advice represents a harmonised approach and is based on the most up-to-date scientific knowledge.
