The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulates medicines and medical devices in Australia. There are different categories of applications for prescription medicines - Category 1 involves new drugs or changes requiring clinical data review, Category 2 involves identical drugs already approved in other countries, and Category 3 involves quality changes only. Applications are processed within statutory timeframes, and variations to approved drugs can be major requiring full review, or minor involving low-risk changes with streamlined processes. Fees are charged depending on the type and complexity of the application or variation.
This presentation contains information about dossier preparation and submission as well as about CTD (Common Technical Document) which is an internationally agreed format for the preparation of applications regarding new drugs intended to be submitted to regional regulatory authorities in participating countries.

Presentation: Update from the Medical Devices BranchTGA Australia
Under Recommendation 15 of the Review of Medicines and Medical Review Regulation (MMDR) the Government agreed to greater utilisation of marketing approvals by comparable overseas regulators to support assessments of medical devices in Australia. Legislative amendments in the Therapeutic Goods Amendment (2017 Measures No. 1) Act 2018 to enact this change also included clarifications regarding preliminary assessment of applications for pre-market authorisation. This presentation will review the implementation arrangements for these changes, covering the increased options for use of overseas approvals, and the evidence requirements to support applications.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. About the Therapeutic GoodsAdministration (TGA)
The TGA is a division of the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, and is responsible for regulating medicines and
medical devices.
TGA administers the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (the Act), applying a risk management approach designed to ensure therapeutic goods
supplied in Australia meet acceptable standards of quality, safety and efficacy (performance), when necessary.
The work of the TGA is based on applying scientific and clinical expertise to decision-making, to ensure that the benefits to consumers
outweigh any risks associated with the use of medicines and medical devices.
The TGA relies on the public, healthcare professionals and industry to report problems with medicines or medical devices. TGA
investigates reports received by it to determine any necessary regulatory action.
To report a problem with a medicine or medical device, please see the information on the TGA website.

4. Categories of applications
Therapeutic Goods Regulations 16A to 16G set out the conditions and statutory processing times relevant to each category
Category 1 applications
Category 1 applications are required for the following:
a new chemical/biological entity , a new generic medicine , new dosage forms , new strengths , extensions to indications , changes to the
product information , amendments to the Product Information (PI) , significant variations to an existing product.
Category 2 applications
Category 2 applications are required when the product to be registered is identical in all aspects to a product that has already been
registered in two acceptable countries i.e. Canada, Sweden, Netherlands, UK & USA.
Two independent evaluation reports need to be submitted with the application.
24 May 2018 4
6. Category 3 applications - Changes to the quality information requiring prior approval
Category 3 applications are required when there are changes to the quality data of a product that has already been entered into the ARTG,
and no clinical, non-clinical or bioequivalence data is required. A rationale is required to justify why clinical, nonclinical or bioequivalence
data is not required.
Categories of applications contd.
24 May 2018 6
7. Special cases of category 1 or 2 applications
1) Orphan drugs
An orphan drug is a medicine, vaccine or in vivo diagnostic agent, which is:
intended to treat, prevent or diagnose a rare disease; or
must not be commercially viable to supply to treat, prevent or diagnose another disease or condition.
2) Priority evaluations
Requests for priority evaluation should be discussed at a pre-submission meeting and will be considered in circumstances where:
the active ingredient is a new chemical entity; and
the medicine is indicated for the treatment or diagnosis of a serious, life-threatening or severely debilitating disease or condition; and
there is clinical evidence that the medicine may provide an important therapeutic gain.
The allocation of priority evaluation status is not a guarantee that the total processing time of the application will be shortened, but the
evaluation process will be performed as rapidly as possible.
Categories of applications contd.

8. Categories of applications contd.
3) Medicines for life-threatening conditions where no satisfactory alternative therapy exists
Where registration is being sought for a new medicine to treat a life-threatening illness or to treat a condition for which no satisfactory
alternative therapy exists, the TGA may accept the application in the US version rather than the usual EU version of the CTD format.
4) Literature based submissions
If the normal supporting data set is not available, the TGA will consider accepting literature based submissions for the purposes of updating
the PI documents of medicines with an extensive registration history, either in Australia or overseas. Under exceptional circumstances, a
literature based submission may be used for the registration of a new chemical entity in Australia where, although the product may not have
been in the ARTG, it has been approved in other countries for many years.
24 May 2018 8
9. Processing times
Category 1 and 2 applications
For Category 1 and 2 applications, the processing time comprises a period for acceptance of the application and a period for evaluation,
which begins on the day that the TGA notifies acceptance of the application.
Category 1 applications:
A decision to accept for evaluation or reject an application must be notified to the sponsor within 40 working days from receipt of the
application and the evaluation fee;
If accepted, the application must be evaluated in 255 working days from the date of acceptance.
Category 2 applications:
A decision to accept for evaluation or reject an application must be notified to the sponsor within 20 working days from receipt of the
application and the evaluation fee;
If accepted the application must be evaluated in 175 working days from the date of acceptance.
24 May 2018 9
10. Processing times contd.
Category 3 applications
For Category 3 applications, there is a single processing period , to be approved or rejected and the decision notified to the sponsor, or to
have an objection raised , within 45 working days of receipt of the application, or payment of the evaluation fee, whichever is the later day.
If, under the provisions of sub regulation 16F(3)(b), the Secretary raises an objection to the application, the applicant may respond and
provide further information or data.
A further 30 working days from receipt of this response is then allowed for consideration of the response before the application must be
approved or rejected.
If the Secretary has not notified the sponsor about the approval or rejection of a Category 3 application within:
45 working days of receipt of the application and fees, or
30 working days of receipt of the response to an objection , which indicates that the application is deemed to be approved.
24 May 2018 10
11. Prescription Medicine Electronic Lodgement System (PREMIER)
In order to register a prescription medicine, you need to create an e-business account for the Prescription Medicine Electronic Lodgement
System (PREMIER). When you have your username and password, you can enter the TGA online website and the PREMIER home page.
From here, you can create an application.
Your application should include the following:
client reference and details , indication of the submission type (category 1 or 2) , label name , proposed therapeutic indications , dosage
form , route of administration , container type and material . visual identification of dosage form , ATC code , Printed product material ,
Ingredient - including whether the ingredient is active, excipient, active homeopathic, or a proprietary ingredient , pack size , SUSDP
schedule that medicine falls under , Shelf life details , Manufacturer’s details including whether the manufacture is Australian or an
overseas manufacturer.
If an overseas manufacturer is selected then clearance ID or GMP reference number must be provided
24 May 2018 11
12. Certificate of Registration
Upon approval of a new register entry, the sponsor will be sent a Certificate of Registration with a unique AUST R number.
The annual registration charge is payable following registration. The sponsor should notify the TGA of the actual date of commencement of
marketing. The provisional ARTG record will have already been checked during the quality evaluation process and will become the ARTG
Record of Registration.

13. Variations
Categories and timeframes
The TGA takes a risk-based approach to assessing variations to prescription medicines. This means that the higher the risk associated with the
variation, the greater the level of assessment required by the TGA for a decision to be made. There are three levels of assessment made by the
TGA for variations:
• Major variations, which require evaluation of a full dataset, or any combination of quality, nonclinical, clinical and bioequivalence data
(Category 1 and Category 2).
• Minor variations which do not have significant impact on quality , safety and efficacy further classified into following categories :
a)Changes that do not require prior approval
b)Corrections to an ARTG entry
c)Notifications
d)Minor Editorial Changes to product information (MEC)
e)Self-Assessable Requests (SARs)
f)Safety Related Requests (SRRs)
24 May 2018 13
14. Variations contd.
g)Category 3 requests - Changes requiring prior approval
Minor Variations
a)Changes that do not require prior approval
These are:
– changes that can be implemented without informing the TGA and
– changes that can be implemented before you inform the TGA of the change.
Examples:
1) Local handling agent of API and excipient, including material of biological origin(same site/method of manufacture, specifications
and, where applicable, biological source including geographical origin).
2) Change to Aust R number following an approved change requiring a new Aust R number, e.g. new formulation.
24 May 2018 14
15. Variations contd.
b) Corrections to an ARTG entry – a minor change to correct or complete information that was inadvertently recorded incorrectly or
omitted in the ARTG entry, including the product information (PI).
Example : Correct an ARTG entry - Manufacture
c) Notifications – very low risk variations with specific conditions. TGA approval for these variations is made automatically upon
lodgement and payment of the application fee. The applicant must provide legal assurances that all conditions are met and submit
supporting data using the approved electronic form.
Examples:
1) API container - changes to container/closure system of a non-sterile API
2) Drug product manufacture - changes to batch size for products that are not modified release dosage forms
3) Drug product specification - changes to identification tests for the active or excipient
24 May 2018 15
16. Variations contd.
d)Minor Editorial Changes to product information (MEC)
Example :
Any minor editorial changes to Labelling of Product Information.
e)Self-Assessable Requests (SARs) - lower risk variations for which the sponsor can provide an assessment of their own data for the TGA
to verify.
Examples :
1)Shelf life - Extension according to an approved stability-testing protocol
2)Formulation - addition or deletion of, or variation to, an inked imprint
3)Container/closure material - changes to material used for blister packs, strip packs and sachets of non-sterile dosage forms
24 May 2018 16
17. Variations contd.
f)Safety Related Requests (SRRs) - requests to either reduce the patient population that can receive the medicine or add a warning or
precaution.
Examples :
1)Product Information - Remove an indication with data
2)Product Information - Make safety related changes with data
g)Category 3 requests - Changes requiring prior approval - variations that require evaluation of quality-related data only.
Examples :
1) API manufacture - changes to the site(s) of manufacture
2)Drug product specifications - changes to specifications, including changes to test methods
3)Pack size - change to, or addition of, pack size
4)Shelf life - Changes to the shelf life or storage conditions of the drug product.
