ECG app not available in Australia

Why is the ECG app not available in Australia when it's available in so many other countries? I bought the watch as I have been diagnosed with A Fib and need a way to monitor. This was they key reason I purchased. To find it then not available is so very disappointing.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

It's not available in australia because it has not been approved yet by your government medical department,apple has no control over this it's down to each countries government to approve the ECG because it is classed as a medical instrument.
