Important information for Australian consumers. Semaglutide 2.4mg is a prescription-only (Schedule 4) medicine in Australia, supplied under the brand name Wegovy. Australian regulations restrict the advertising of prescription medicines to consumers, so this article is general patient information — it is not an advertisement, not an offer of sale, and not medical advice. Whether semaglutide 2.4mg is clinically appropriate for you is a decision for an AHPRA-registered prescriber following an assessment.

This article is a short patient-information landing. For the full patient information — TGA-approved indication, what to discuss with an AHPRA-registered prescriber, PBS context and the service-level cost components of a private consultation — see Semaglutide 2.4mg in Australia — Patient Information. For consumer information about Australian weight-management treatment more generally, see the weight-management hub.

Frequently asked questions

What is semaglutide 2.4mg?

Semaglutide 2.4mg is a prescription-only (Schedule 4) medicine in Australia, supplied under the brand name Wegovy. It is TGA-approved for weight management in adults who meet the clinical criteria set out in its Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods entry. A separate semaglutide product (Ozempic) is TGA-approved for type 2 diabetes only.

Is semaglutide 2.4mg PBS-subsidised for weight management?

Semaglutide 2.4mg is not currently PBS-subsidised for weight management in Australia. The cost of the medicine is generally paid privately. PBS schedules change; check pbs.gov.au for current status.

Why does this page not list semaglutide 2.4mg prices?

Australian regulations restrict the advertising of prescription medicines to consumers. Pairing a brand name and price in a consumer context is treated as advertising under the TGA Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code, so TreatCompare does not display Australian prescription-medicine prices.
