Vacancies on the Statutory Advisory Committees and the Australian Influenza Vaccine Committee

We are seeking applications from professionals with expertise in relevant medical or scientific fields or consumer health issues to support our functions as a best practice regulator. As a committee member you will contribute significantly towards the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) by providing independent expert advice on specific technical matters relating to the regulation of medicines, devices, vaccines and other products and substances.

Committee members provide advice on the therapeutic product life cycle, from premarket evaluation to post market product safety. See: TGA statutory advisory committees for more details.

In addition, we are seeking to fill vacancies on the Australian Influenza Vaccine Committee (AIVC), which provides advice to the TGA about the composition of the seasonal influenza vaccine.

If you're interested in being involved with safeguarding and enhancing the health of the Australian community, have expertise in relevant medical or scientific fields, or consumer health issues, we would like to hear from you.
