Important information for Australian consumers. Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription-only (Schedule 4) medicine in Australia. It is TGA-approved for the management of type 2 diabetes, not weight management. The TGA has specifically stated that promoting Ozempic for weight loss is not permitted in Australia. This article is general patient information — it is not an advertisement, not an offer of sale, and not medical advice.
This article is a short patient-information landing. For the full patient information — TGA-approved indication, PBS context for type 2 diabetes, and the service-level cost components of a diabetes consultation — see Ozempic and the PBS — Patient Information. For consumer information about Australian weight-management treatment, see the weight-management hub.
What this article does not do
This article does not list Ozempic prices for weight-loss use, compare Ozempic to other medicines on price, or recommend Ozempic as a weight-management option. Off-label use of any medicine is a clinical decision for an AHPRA-registered prescriber and is not endorsed by the manufacturer or the TGA.

Frequently asked questions
What is Ozempic approved for in Australia?
Ozempic (semaglutide) is TGA-approved in Australia for the management of type 2 diabetes. It is not TGA-approved for weight management; the TGA has specifically stated that promoting Ozempic for weight loss is not permitted in Australia. Wegovy, a separate semaglutide product, is TGA-approved for weight management.
Is Ozempic on the PBS?
PBS subsidy for Ozempic applies to eligible patients with type 2 diabetes who meet the current PBS criteria. Eligibility is decided by an AHPRA-registered prescriber using current PBS rules at pbs.gov.au.
Why does TreatCompare not list Ozempic prices for weight-loss use?
Ozempic is not TGA-approved for weight management, and the TGA has stated that promoting it for weight loss is not permitted. Pairing the brand name and price in a consumer context would be advertising under the TGA Code, so TreatCompare does not do that. Service-level costs for type 2 diabetes care are described on the linked patient-information page.
