Questions
Answers for MedTech leaders evaluating ANZ.
Do we need a local sponsor in Australia?+
For most regulated medical devices, yes; an Australian Sponsor of Record is a TGA requirement. Arcadia can act as sponsor or help you establish your own local entity.
How long does a TGA inclusion typically take?+
It depends on classification and the strength of your existing technical file. A straightforward Class IIa with comparable overseas certification usually moves in 6–9 months; more complex devices can take 12+ months.
Can we file Medsafe and TGA in parallel?+
Yes. We routinely sequence both in the same engagement, with Medsafe notification typically completing well ahead of TGA inclusion.
Do you work with pre-revenue companies?+
Selectively. If your funding runway and clinical evidence support a credible 12–18 month launch plan in ANZ, we'll consider an engagement.
