Better Health Made Here

The challenge

Australia's medtech companies are creating world-class products, but many aren't getting into our own hospitals.

At the same time, health services are under pressure with stretched budgets, rising costs, and not enough local supply.

The opportunity

To make it easier for local medtech companies to connect with local health services. By helping small and medium sized manfacturing enterprises, they'll understand what hospitals need and how to supply them, and we can grow local business, boost patient care, and prove that better health is made here.

Our vision..

Better Health Made Here - a bigger, more vibrant local medtech manufacturing industry that's supercharging our economy and working alongside our health sector to secure Australia's access to critical medical technologies now and in the future. 

We exist to..

make it more efficient and effective to deliver high quality locally-made solutions for our health services and the world. 

We do this by..

building a united and solutions-focused voice on key policy and advocacy issues faced by Australia SME medtech manufacturers, with a priority given to issues related to health procurement. 

A partnership dedicated to our local SME medtech manufacturers
