The Distribution Agreement Pharmaceutical Products is essential for businesses operating in Australia's regulated pharmaceutical sector. It is typically used when a pharmaceutical manufacturer or supplier wants to appoint a distributor to handle the storage, transportation, and distribution of pharmaceutical products within specified territories in Australia. The agreement must comply with the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, state-specific pharmaceutical regulations, and TGA guidelines. It covers crucial aspects such as quality control, storage requirements, regulatory compliance, performance standards, and risk allocation.
