Welcome to Abbott Australasia

We are a global, broad-based health care company devoted to discovering new medicines, new technologies and new ways to manage health. Our businesses span the continuum of care, offering nutritional, pharmaceutical and diabetes care products, as well as vascular devices and laboratory diagnostics. Our comprehensive line of products encircles life itself - addressing important health needs from birth to senior years.

Abbott was first established in Australia in 1937 and in New Zealand in 1941. In 2004 Abbott Australasia's headquarters were relocated to a purpose built site at Botany. This site houses our national Distribution Centre and is home to the shared business functions of Finance, Information Technology and Operations. The Sales and Marketing teams for the Nutritional and Pharmaceutical businesses are also based at Botany. The Diagnostics, Vascular and Diabetes Care teams are based in Lane Cove, North Ryde and Melbourne respectively.

Abbott is proud to be recognised as a global corporate citizen, providing expertise, products and people to address issues that matter most to our neighbours, customers and partners around the world. In Australia and New Zealand we have a long history of contributing to our community in many different ways, including employee involvement in local school programs and support for local childcare facilities.

Abbott's strong global commitment to looking after the environment and preserving the earth's resources is demonstrated locally through our support of the National Packaging Covenant (NPC). As a signatory to the NPC, our aim is to ensure the protection and conservation of resources and to raise the environmental awareness of employees.
