Our mission
The weight loss medication landscape in Australia is confusing. Drugs get approved, restricted, discontinued, and repriced constantly. Telehealth providers multiply monthly. TGA rules change. And through it all, Australians searching for information find a mix of outdated content, provider marketing, and unregulated advice.
We exist to cut through that noise with clear, accurate, regularly updated information that helps you make informed decisions about weight loss medication.
What we do
- Compare all TGA-approved weight loss medications with current pricing
- Review and compare 20+ telehealth providers independently
- Track PBS changes, TGA approvals, and regulatory updates
- Provide interactive tools (BMI calculator, eligibility checker, cost calculator)
- Publish evidence-based guides sourced from clinical trial data and Australian regulatory bodies

Why we built this site
The Australian weight loss medication landscape changes constantly — drugs get approved, restricted, discontinued, and repriced. Telehealth providers launch and merge. PBS rules evolve. Through all of this, Australians searching for reliable information encounter a mix of outdated content, provider marketing disguised as reviews, and unregulated advice on social media.
We built weightlossmeds.com.au to be the resource we wished existed when we started researching this space: comprehensive, accurate, regularly updated, and genuinely independent. Every comparison on this site uses the same methodology. Every review applies the same criteria. Our content is sourced from TGA records, clinical trial publications, and Australian regulatory bodies — not provider marketing materials.
Our update process
Medication pricing is checked monthly across all providers. Regulatory changes (TGA approvals, PBS updates, prescribing rule changes) are published within 24 hours. Clinical content is reviewed quarterly by our medical advisory board. Every page displays a "last updated" date so you can see how current the information is.
