When will Australia have ECG activated on their watches?

I purchased my Apple Watch 4 over 12 months ago because of the ECG function, 12 months later and a new watch in the series still Australia has no ECG function available. When will Apple apply to the TGA to have the ECG available for Australians?

Thanks for asking about the new ECG feature. 


Check here for availability in your region: ECG


ECG requires the following software: 


  • The iPhone must have iOS 12.1.1 or later installed
  • The Apple Watch must have watchOS 5.1.2 or later installed


For additional help with the ECG feature on your Apple Watch, take a look at these articles.
