Anaesthesia and respiratory device distributors in Australia: 16 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 16 establishments in Australia whose registry records include anaesthesia and respiratory: 0 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 3 registration holders without a channel role, and 13 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 202 medical device establishments in Australia overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA) and Health Canada, last seen on 22 October 2026.
Anaesthesia and respiratory covers ventilators, anaesthesia machines, airway consumables, oxygen therapy and sleep devices. Capital equipment and consumables often travel through the same distributor, which makes service capability a buying factor. Home respiratory care adds a non-hospital channel in several markets.
