When to use it
Use before a clinic, supplier or agency publishes an advertisement for a therapeutic good to the public.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
The tool quotes the advertisement into the checklist, and the lawyer decides whether it meets the outcomes the Therapeutic Goods Administration describes.
AI may
- Paste the advertisement text the lawyer supplies, and mark claims the lawyer has highlighted.
- Record whether the lawyer says the audience is the public.
AI must not
- Do not rewrite the advertisement.
- Do not say that an advertisement complies with the Code.
- Do not invent a section number of the Advertising Code. The instrument was not opened.
The lawyer checks
- Read the Therapeutic Goods (Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code) Instrument 2021 with the guidance. The page says to read them together.
- Confirm the Code applies. The page says it applies to therapeutic goods advertised to the public, and points to Part 2.
- Check the Australian Consumer Law separately. It was not opened for this checklist.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
