Celebrating 50 Years of SSS Australia Supporting Healthcare Professionals and Organisations
From modest beginnings in a Brisbane suburban garage in 1976, once known as South Side Surgical.
Now SSS Australia, we have grown into a team of more than 70 people operating from a purpose-designed head office and warehouse - united by a commitment to supplying healthcare professionals and organisations across Australia with quality medical products and dependable support.
Growth, innovation and enduring relationships have shaped our journey. Over five decades, 550 staff have contributed, while our supplier network has grown ten-fold from 25 partners to more than 250. We have supported healthcare through changing products, prices and technology, continually adopting information technology to improve efficiency.
Many customers have been with us since our earliest days. As our infrastructure, people, products, pricing and engagement evolve, our commitment to doing More For You through personable, dependable service and reliable supply remains unchanged.
To our Customers: thank you for choosing SSS Australia and for allowing us to be part of your work. Your loyalty, feedback and long-standing relationships mean more than we can express. You have shaped who we are, and we never take your confidence in us for granted.
To Members of the SSS Australia team: past and present, you have all contributed to this milestone. Thank you for the care you brought to your work, the knowledge shared, the challenges overcome, and the extra effort made for our customers and one another.
To our Managers & Leaders: thank you for your commitment to guiding our people and processes to deliver customer satisfaction and encouraging innovation; ensuring our teams continue to develop and deliver valuable customer outcomes.
To our Suppliers and Industry partners: as essential contributors to customer outcomes, thank you for the expertise, innovation, and dependable support that help us maintain supply continuity and deliver quality outcomes. We will continue collaborating through mutual dialogue, shared planning and new initiatives that strengthen customer outcomes and respond to the changing needs of Australian healthcare professionals.
Over the past five decades, healthcare has changed profoundly. Clinical practices, regulation, technology and supply chains have all evolved. Through every change, our customers have guided us - sharing their needs, challenging us to improve and trusting us to provide the products and support that help them care for others.
This inspires our continued investment in people, systems, facilities, product ranges and quality practices. Most importantly, these investments give our teams the tools to respond quickly, achieve prompt outcomes and make life easier for customers. Every improvement is driven by our simple goal: to serve you better.
Thank you to our customers and team members for making the SSS Australia story possible. As we celebrate 50 years, we look to the future with gratitude and confidence, positioned to deliver quality supply outcomes for healthcare communities across Australia.
