DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7b745a/the_medical_device) has announced the addition of the "The Medical Device Market: Australia" report to their offering.
Australia is one of the richest healthcare markets in the Asia-Pacific region. The market ranks as the 11th largest in the world, while per capita spending is on a par with European markets such as Germany or the Netherlands.
Around 75% of the market is located in the three states of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, situated on the south and east coasts. Much of the rest of the country is very sparsely inhabited.
Healthcare provision is a mixture of public and private. Public expenditure is largely funded by the Commonwealth (central) Government, while private expenditure is largely funded through insurance. The current government is keen to expand private care, and has developed tax breaks to boost insurance coverage.
While there are a few small high tech manufacturers, local production tends to concentrate on basic hospital supplies. The market is therefore predominantly supplied by imports, which have grown rapidly since 2001. Imports are principally supplied by the USA, with which Australia has developed close trading links.
In April 2010, the Australian government announced it had reached an agreement with the States and Territories to implement a Health Reform which came into effect in July 2010. The agreement with the seven States and Territories will see the Commonwealth retain one third of the GST (Goods and Services Tax) to become the dominant funder of the nation's hospital system. All States and Territories except Western Australia have agreed to the plan. The Commonwealth government said it will continue discussions with the Western Australian Government.
