The Advertising Code in 2026: TGO 116, a consultation and enforcement
The Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code now points to TGO 116, the TGA consulted on changes to it from July to September, and it gave over 75 infringement notices in the second half of 2025, mostly for alleged unlawful advertising. What changed, and what it means for a supplement brand's marketing.
Permissible Ingredients: the third determination of 2026 and the andrographis removal
The TGA's list of ingredients a listed medicine can use changed twice in a month: andrographis came off on 17 September, and the third determination of 2026 commenced on 16 October with five new ingredients. What changed, and what it means for a formula in development.
TGO 116 has replaced TGO 92: what changes for supplement labels
TGO 92 was repealed on 30 September 2026 and TGO 116 is now the labelling order for listed medicines. What changed, what the transition to 2031 allows, and what to do with a label you are designing now.
