When including medical devices into the ARTG, Australian sponsors must identify the applicable GMDN code for their products. The GMDN Agency has made basic membership free since April 1^st 2019. The free GMDN membership allows search of GMDN Codes and provides enquiry services . Additional functionalities and services are available for additional fees.  

According to GMDN website: “The new free Basic membership will allow users access to the GMDN data, while the existing membership charges will remain for manufacturers needing the time-saving and value-added services provided by the GMDN Agency. These include the Term Status Notification service (which automatically updates subscribers to change events), multi-user accounts, data export, access to the higher-level Explorer groups and a priority enquiry service.”
