Why Australian-Made Masks Matter: A Story Close to Our Heart
Published on  Updated on  

At Ausmed Health, our journey began at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many Australians, we saw the strain on our health system—and we rolled up our sleeves. Our business was born out of necessity, with a mission to manufacture high-quality surgical masks right here on home soil.

Since those early days, we’ve grown into a trusted national supplier of P2 respirators and Australian made surgical face masks, partnering with healthcare providers, aged care facilities, and individual customers across the country. But while our product range has expanded, our values haven’t changed—we still champion Australian-made at every opportunity.


Supporting Local Manufacturing Isn’t Just a Choice—It’s a Commitment

We’re proud to work closely with some of Australia’s best PPE manufacturers. These relationships go beyond business. They're about trust, innovation, and resilience.

When you choose an Australian-made mask, you’re not just protecting your health—you’re:

  • Supporting local jobs in manufacturing and supply chains

  • Investing in quality and compliance with Australian safety standards

  • Reducing our reliance on overseas imports, especially in times of global crisis

  • Backing faster, more secure delivery with shorter supply chains

Our partner manufacturers meet or exceed AS/NZS1716 standards, meaning every P2 or Surgical mask  we supply has been rigorously tested for performance and safety.


Why Quality Matters—Especially in Healthcare

Not all masks are created equal. Imported products often cut corners when it comes to filtration, fit, and long-term comfort.

At Ausmed Health, we go the extra mile to ensure:

  • 🛡️ Consistent protection, especially in high-risk environments

  • 😷 Comfortable, secure fit, designed for extended wear

  • 📦 Reliable stock availability, with Australian-made options front and centre


Manufactured for Australia, By Australians

Australia’s climate, health standards, and frontline needs are unique—and so are our masks. Whether you're a healthcare worker, carer, or simply looking for the best protection during flu season, you deserve gear that’s built for our conditions.

By choosing Ausmed Health, you’re choosing a business that:

  • 💙 Was founded by Australians

  • 🔄 Continues to reinvest in Australian supply chains

  • 🤝 Partners with agencies like the NDIS and Australian Government Stockpile to support community health


So—Why Does Buying Aussie-Made Matter?

Because it’s personal. Because it’s smart. And because it’s how we keep our country strong, safe, and self-reliant.

We’ll always stock a wide range of protective equipment—but when there's a high-quality Australian-made option available, it’ll be our first choice. And we hope it’s yours, too.
