Abbott has been part of the healthcare landscape in Australia since 1935 and in New Zealand since 1941, building a presence across both countries that spans more than 80 years of commitment to helping people live healthier, more fulfilling lives. Abbott's approach in Australia and New Zealand is built around comprehensive chronic disease management — covering prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and intervention across a wide range of conditions. That full-spectrum view of health, from first check-up to long-term management, is what drives Abbott's work here every day. 

The portfolio Abbott brings to Australia and New Zealand reflects the specific health priorities of both nations. Trusted nutritional brands including Ensure, Glucerna, PediaSure and EleCare support people at every stage of life, from childhood through to the management of serious conditions like cancer-related nutritional decline, diabetes and kidney disease. Abbott is a world leader in rapid point-of-care and infectious disease testing, and its technologies support the screening of 100 percent of blood donors across Australia and New Zealand — ensuring the safety of the blood supply for everyone who depends on it. In heart health, Abbott provides innovative stents, pacemakers and structural heart devices including MitraClip for the management of mitral valve regurgitation, representing some of the most significant recent progress in cardiac care. 

Abbott's work in Australia and New Zealand extends into areas that are quietly transforming lives. The company is doing pioneering work in neuromodulation, helping people living with Parkinson's disease and chronic pain regain their independence and quality of life. Abbott's molecular diagnostics business supports Australian healthcare institutions in delivering targeted cancer therapies, enabling a level of personalized medicine that was not possible a generation ago. These advances are the result of active public and private partnerships that Abbott fosters across both countries — because Abbott believes the best health outcomes come from collaboration, and that the future of healthcare is built together.
