For those purchasing traditional and herbal medicines in Australia, "The medicine should carry prominently on the packaging and the label a number of the form AUST R 123456 (for registered medicines, one brand of paracetamol is AUST R 11122) or AUST L 123456 (for Listed medicines, most traditional and herbal medicines will be Listed). The numbers should usually be on the front of the packaging."
