    The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has made some changes on how products should be advertised and as such, please read through the points highlighted below to ensure             compliance with the advertising requirements under the therapeutic goods legislation. The updated Advertising Codes comes into effect on 1 January 2022 and will be subject to a 6-               month transition period until 30 June 2022.

• Therapeutic goods range from medicines or medical devices and have a health effect on the human body. This applies to supplements, protein powders, vitamins, sunscreens, skincare for acne, medicines, medical devices. Anything that has a therapeutic effect.
• Advertisements or social media posts must not promote a therapeutic good for a purpose other than those documented provided with the good.
• Brand ambassadors or influencers may endorse products however, the endorsement must not reference the individual's personal experience from using the good, including before and after photos.
• Brand ambassadors MUST NOT provide testimonials on how a product worked for them, speak about their personal experience with a product, or share their opinion. Ambassadors may only post about the benefits a product claims to have, NOT make other claims or statements from a first-person perspective.
• E.g. CAN SAY:"These vitamins support skin health"
• E.g. CAN'T SAY: "These vitamins made my skin look brighter and younger and changed my life"
• An exception is made for genuine customer testimonials where they have not been solicited or encouraged with payment of any kind. If a person receives or is promised 'valuable consideration' for providing a testimonial, that testimonial cannot be used in an advertisement. Valuable consideration is anything given that has some value and could include monetary payment or 'payment' with goods in return for the testimonial. The aim is to stop influencers making therapeutic claims that haven't been tested and approved.
• As such, all previous/historical social media testimonials for supplements, protein powders and the likes will need to be removed from social media by 30 June 2022.

Benefits are offered to Brand Ambassadors during the Program in exchange for the content created and submitted by ambassadors, hereinafter “Content”, (information, images, pictures, data, text, photographs, graphics, messages, or other materials). Benefits may include:

  • The team may reach out to specific ambassadors at any time to promote and provide content for specific new items before product releases.
