What we found

TGA Federal Court penalty media release recorded 2026-05-19.

  • The TGA says the Federal Court ordered Peptide Clinics Australia, Peptide Clinics Pty Ltd, to pay $10 million to the Commonwealth on 23 July 2019.
  • The TGA says the case involved advertising breaches, including the ban on advertising prescription-only medicines to the public.
  • The TGA says the clinic gave the impression medical practitioners were involved in the business, misleading consumers to think those practitioners were acting in their best interests.
  • The TGA says the Court accepted the Secretary's submission that Peptide Clinics deliberately and recklessly pursued financial self-interest at the expense of legal obligations and public health.

What still needs checking

  • This is an enforcement-history page, not a current operational vendor score.
  • Do not use the Peptide Clinics penalty to imply a different clinic or vendor has breached the law unless that vendor has its own source-linked record.
  • Any comparison with current clinic-model providers should stay tied to the specific conduct and advertising rules in the TGA source.
