Finance Director

at  Daniels Health

Our story began with a passionate idea that we could change the world…. And to be honest, we’ve never stopped believing that… In 1986 it was a simple concept that microbiology teamed with innovation and clinical contribution could eliminate an issue that was profoundly impacting the healthcare industry – HIV acquired through needle-stick injuries.
In Australia, we lived out our dream. Investing years into R&D to create the safest containment system in the world and taking on the industry status quo to petition for higher standards in sharps protection, we witnessed an 80+ percent reduction in disposal-related needlestick injuries nationwide. And then we kept going…
We have a simple mission - save lives through making healthcare safer.
