ABOUT MELALEUCA
Melaleuca was established in 1985 and in just over 30 years, Melaleuca has grown from a little start-up in rural Idaho to a billion-dollar enterprise doing business in 19 countries around the globe. It has become one of the largest catalogue and online retailers in North America. Today, more than a million people shop with Melaleuca every month globally.
From the beginning, it was destined to be different. Probably because it was created to put people first. People before profit. People before anything else. Our mission? 'Enhancing the lives of those we touch by helping people reach their goals'.
People reaching goals... well, that's the stuff life is all about. And not just any goals. Big goals. The desire to be happy. To be well. In every aspect of life. That's what makes Melaleuca different. Melaleuca is The Wellness Company. And by wellness, we mean complete wellness. Total wellness. In four distinct but connected areas; Physical, Environment, Financial and Personal wellness.
Melaleuca began its operations in Australia in 2001 and manages operations for both Australia and New Zealand markets from our head office in Balwyn.
