About us

Wells Medical WA is a Medical Sales and Distribution business based in Jolimont, Perth. Our core business is representing Corin Australia, a UK based orthopaedic implant and technology supplier, as their Distributor in Western Australia. Corin's best in class OPSInsight dynamic hip simulation technology has  changed the way that orthopaedics plans total hip replacement.

Additionally we represent DeSoutter Medical, a UK based quality medical power tools manufacturer and supplier. We also act as a sales agent for Wilhelm, a bespoke Sydney based hospital theatre installation services and medical technology provider.  

Wells Medical WA runs a comprehensive clean warehouse for the management of the products that we distribute. We also provide a highly experienced and skilled sales and support service representing our suppliers to the hospitals and surgeons that we work with.

We have the backing of multinational medical companies providing world leading technology. However, as a small business we have the flexibility to respond to opportunities and the demands of our customers. This generates an energy of possibility across the team, as our future and success is very much in our hands to shape. 

The role

This Kit Assembler role will be integral to our small warehouse team which is responsible for this precess from beginning to end.
