                (a)    in the case of a therapeutic device included in the part of the Register for registered goods -- by writing the number so that it is clearly visible to the user:

                          (i)    on the label on the device; or

                         (ii)    on the label on the outermost level of packaging in which the device is to be supplied to its user;

                        and, where more than one device is packaged for supply together, on the label on the outermost surface of the outermost package; and

               (b)    in the case of medicines -- by writing the number on the label on the container of the medicines, or, if the container is enclosed in a primary pack for supply, on the label on that primary pack; and

                (c)    subject to subregulation (2), in each case -- by writing the number on the main label, or on a securely affixed sticker adjacent to the main label, immediately preceded by:

                          (i)    "AUST R" in the case of registered goods; and
