Our story began with a passionate idea that we could change the world.... And to be honest, we’ve never stopped believing that... In 1986 it was a simple concept that microbiology teamed with innovation and clinical contribution could eliminate an issue that was profoundly impacting the healthcare industry – HIV acquired through needle-stick injuries.   In Australia, we lived out our dream. Investing years into R&D to create the safest containment system in the world and taking on the industry status quo to petition for higher standards in sharps protection, we witnessed an 80+ percent reduction in disposal-related needlestick injuries nationwide. And then we kept going... Who are we looking for… We are seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented logistics professional who thrives in a fast-paced, operational environment. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in transportation planning, route optimization, and system-driven decision-making, with a strong aptitude to grow into a more senior, national-level role.
