Peptides come up in two very different skin contexts: topical cosmetic ingredients (regulated as cosmetics) and injectable products (regulated as medicines). They are not the same category.

20 peptidesPeptides marketed for sport and performance overlap heavily with the recovery and growth-hormone categories. Many sit outside the ARTG and outside any lawful supply pathway in Australia.
