Can you bring Wegovy to Australia?

• Injectable medication

  allowed, within limits

  Insulin and other injectable medicines fall under the same traveller's exemption as other prescription medicines: bring up to 3 months' supply, carry your prescription or a doctor's letter naming the medicine and dose, keep it in original packaging, and declare it to the Australian Border Force. TGA's own traveller guidance uses an insulin worked example: a diabetic traveller kept insulin in its original packaging with a prescription and doctor's letter, and used a small cooler bag on board to keep it cold during a long-haul flight.

  Neither the TGA nor ODC pages fetched in this pass name GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro/Zepbound, semaglutide/tirzepatide) specifically, or address needles/syringes/injection pens as their own category -- they're covered only by extension as ordinary prescription medicines/medical devices under the general traveller's exemption, and by the insulin example for cold-chain handling. If you need more than 3 months' supply, the same 'get a local prescription or import a further batch' guidance from the general controlled-medicine entry applies.

  Also covers: ozempic, wegovy, mounjaro, zepbound, semaglutide, tirzepatide, insulin, needles, syringes, injection pen, glp-1
