Australia Rolls Out Work Plan to Engage With International Regulators

Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration released a new work plan spelling out how it will engage with overseas regulators to increase information sharing and regulatory convergence.

The agency noted it will be working this year to establish policies and guidelines for work-sharing processes with the EU, Canada, Japan and the U.S.

The agency said it also plans on working with counterparts in the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) to develop a common “Table of Contents” to establish a standard format to support electronic device submissions.
