Apple Watch ECG

Is Apple in Australia in the process of applying to allow the ECG app to be used in Australia? If so is there an ETA?

I'm no lawyer (so don't hold this against me - just trying to be optimistic with my limited knowledge of law) but an amendment has been passed and received royal assent just recently (Therapeutic Goods Amendment (2020 Measures No. 1) Bill 2020). The amendments made do seem to cover possible adaptations to allow "the software" of an Apple Watch to act as a medical device. If it's good to go, let's hope that Apple are quick to make the registration with the TGA a priority so will it will be apart of our devices.
