Orthopaedic and spine device distributors in Australia: 138 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 138 establishments in Australia whose registry records include orthopaedics, spine and trauma: 19 independent distributors (a channel role such as importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative, and no manufacturing of their own), 95 manufacturers' own import or sales entities, 14 regulatory representatives, and 10 manufacturers or exporters, out of 745 medical device establishments in Australia overall. The records come from TGA Australia, US FDA (openFDA), MHRA UK and Health Canada, last seen on 23 October 2026.
Orthopaedics covers implants for joints, spine and trauma, together with instruments and bone substitutes. Implants are usually Class IIb or III, so the importer or registration holder carries real regulatory work and hospitals often buy through tenders. Distributors in this segment tend to employ clinical support staff who attend surgery.

Who holds the registration in Australia
In Australia the ARTG entry is held by an Australian sponsor, which is usually the importer or distributor or a local subsidiary. If the distributor is the sponsor, the market entry belongs to it until a transfer is agreed.
