Advancing patient education and care is a priority for Viatris in Australia. We support education initiatives in therapy areas such as allergy and asthma working with patient group Allergy and Anaphylaxis Australia.

We work to ensure a safe, productive and positive work environment that fosters inclusion, integrity and mutual respect for all.

We work with global and local partners on a variety of philanthropic efforts, including supporting education, community health programs and better access to treatment.

We are committed to environmentally responsible conduct and have policies and procedures to systematically minimise our environmental footprint.

On a global public health level, we advocate for policies that advance knowledge and education, reduce barriers to treatment access to achieve better health for patients and unlock value for health systems.

How we help patients

From cardiovascular health to oncology, Viatris offers quality treatment options across more than 10 major therapeutic areas covering a wide variety of noncommunicable and infectious diseases.

We offer a broad and diverse range of treatment options across all our therapeutic areas, with many categories containing several products in a range of dosage forms, formulations and delivery systems that allow physicians to tailor care for optimal treatment.

Viatris collaborates with many organizations to help prevent, diagnose and treat non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

We are a leading supplier of medicines to the HIV/AIDS community around the world, with a legacy of providing access to high quality and affordable antiretrovirals in more than 100 countries. Approximately 40% of the 23.31 million people on treatment for HIV use our products.
In Australia we supported a major trial of pre-exposure prophylaxis medication for HIV/AIDS which led to its PBS reimbursement ensuring this valuable prevention therapy is affordable.
Our state-of-the-art warehouse and distribution centre in Bundamba, Queensland – equivalent in size to 43 Olympic pools - stores extensive volumes of stock and a wide range of critical products all under the one roof. An order can be made from our warehouse and shipped anywhere around the country, overnight.
Our employees are highly qualified in engineering, medicine and science. Of our 600 employees at our Carole Park manufacturing site, 229 employees have a degree or higher qualifications and a further 25 employees have trade qualifications.
