Surgical and endoscopy device distributors in Australia: 147 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 147 establishments in Australia whose registry records include surgery and endoscopy: 28 independent distributors (a channel role such as importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative, and no manufacturing of their own), 81 manufacturers' own import or sales entities, 21 regulatory representatives, and 17 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.
General and plastic surgery covers instruments, electrosurgery, endoscopes, sutures and staplers. Most registries place surgical instruments in their largest category, so this segment usually has the most establishments and the widest spread of company sizes. Many of them are small instrument makers and importers rather than full-line distributors.

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.
