Why an Australian doctor (not an offshore vendor)

Offshore 'research peptides' are unlawful to import without a prescription — Customs seizes shipments and can refer cases for prosecution.
No clinical oversight = no titration, no contraindication check, no follow-up if something goes wrong.
Compounding quality, sterility and dose accuracy are not regulated outside Australia's TGA-licensed pharmacies.
Only an AHPRA-registered prescriber can lawfully diagnose, prescribe and monitor peptide therapy in Australia.

FAQ

Are peptides legal in Australia?

Yes — peptides are legal in Australia when prescribed by an AHPRA-registered medical practitioner via the TGA Special Access Scheme Category B (SAS-B) and dispensed by a TGA-licensed compounding pharmacy. Importing peptides from offshore 'research chemical' vendors without a prescription is unlawful under the Customs Act.

How do I get peptides in Australia legally?

Complete a clinical intake, consult an AHPRA-registered Australian doctor on telehealth, and — if clinically appropriate — they lodge a TGA SAS-B notification and route the prescription to a TGA-licensed Australian compounding pharmacy that ships nationwide with cold-chain.

What peptides are prescribed in Australia?

Common peptides Australian doctors review under SAS-B include BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, AOD-9604, GHK-Cu, MOTS-c, tirzepatide and semaglutide. None are first-line therapies — they're considered case-by-case alongside conventional treatment.

How much do peptides cost in Australia?

Initial telehealth consultation is $99. Compounded peptide scripts vary by molecule and dose — typically $150–$450/month from a TGA-licensed Australian compounding pharmacy. Cold-chain shipping is included.

Can my GP prescribe peptides?

Any AHPRA-registered medical practitioner can prescribe peptides via TGA SAS-B, but most GPs don't — the SAS-B paperwork and peptide pharmacology are unfamiliar. Most Australians use a peptide-focused telehealth doctor.
