    Australian NaturalCare has supported everyday health and wellbeing in Australia since 1989, becoming part of many Australians’ wellness routines over time.

    In Australia, vitamins, minerals, herbal medicines and nutritional supplements are regulated as complementary medicines by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). The TGA oversees the listing of complementary medicines and conducts ongoing monitoring activities, including compliance reviews and post market assessments.

    Our vitamins and supplements are developed in Australia under applicable regulatory and manufacturing requirements designed to support quality, consistency and reliability.

    Australian manufacturing

    Our products are manufactured in Australia in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements applicable to complementary medicines. These standards help support consistency across production and manufacturing processes.

    Quality processes

    We work with manufacturing partners that conduct testing and quality checks throughout production, including testing related to ingredient identity, stability and shelf life where appropriate. Product specifications and manufacturing controls are used to help ensure products meet required standards prior to release.

    Evidence informed formulation

    Each formula is developed with careful ingredient selection and a clear purpose behind every product. Our formulations combine evidence informed thinking with ingredients traditionally used in herbal medicine where appropriate.

    We prioritise high quality ingredients and develop products in line with applicable Australian regulatory requirements for listed complementary medicines.

    Food and complementary medicines

    In Australia, complementary medicines and foods are regulated under different frameworks. Complementary medicines are regulated by the TGA, while foods are generally regulated by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).

    Some ingredients may be used in both foods and complementary medicines depending on the product context and intended use. Products regulated as complementary medicines must comply with requirements relevant to listed therapeutic goods in Australia.

    Customer support and guidance

    We also provide access to qualified naturopaths to help customers feel informed and supported when choosing products suited to their individual needs. Information provided is general in nature and is not intended to replace advice from a healthcare professional.

    For many Australians, Australian NaturalCare continues to be a familiar part of everyday wellness routines, with products customers choose to return to over time.
