TGA scheduling lists controlled substances and medicines. If a compound does not appear on any schedule, it is unscheduled — which means there are no restrictions on purchasing it for research purposes. BPC-157 is unscheduled.
⚖️ Regulatory status
While BPC-157 is legal to purchase for research, it is not approved by the TGA for therapeutic use in humans. It cannot be marketed as a medicine or treatment. Vendors must sell it with a "for research purposes only" designation.

What does "for research purposes only" mean?

This designation is a legal requirement for selling compounds that have not received therapeutic approval. It means the vendor cannot make health claims and the compound is sold with the understanding it is for laboratory research. In practice, this is the standard way research peptides are sold in Australia.
