Anaesthesia and respiratory device distributors in Australia: 63 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 63 establishments in Australia whose registry records include anaesthesia and respiratory: 10 independent distributors (a channel role such as importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative, and no manufacturing of their own), 34 manufacturers' own import or sales entities, 7 regulatory representatives, and 12 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.
Anaesthesia and respiratory covers ventilators, anaesthesia machines, airway consumables, oxygen therapy and sleep devices. Capital equipment and consumables often travel through the same distributor, which makes service capability a buying factor. Home respiratory care adds a non-hospital channel in several markets.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |

| Sponsor | 51 | 81% | Holds the market entry on behalf of a manufacturer, in markets that use that term. |
| Registration holder | 3 | 5% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 20 | 32% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 5 | 8% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in Australia
