Australian Made Matters: Why We Build Right Here in Queensland

In today’s globalised world, it’s easy to overlook the value of local manufacturing. At Novacorr, we’ve made a conscious choice to keep our operations in Australia and we believe that choice makes all the difference. Not just for us, but for the people who rely on our equipment every day.

When you choose Novacorr, you’re choosing a product that’s been designed, engineered and built in our Queensland facility by skilled tradespeople who understand the importance of quality and reliability. Our beds and chairs are crafted with marine grade ply, fire retardant foams, ISO certified actuators and robust steel frames. These are not imported frames rebranded with a local sticker. We build from the ground up.

This control over the build process means we can deliver genuine customisation. Need a non-standard width to accommodate a narrow doorway? We can do it. Need integrated brackets for hoisting or custom padding for pressure care? It’s no problem. Our factory isn’t just a production line, it’s a place for solving problems.

Australian made also means shorter lead times, easier communication and faster response to any concerns or changes. If something needs adjusting, you’re not waiting weeks for overseas parts or approvals. We pick up the phone, speak with your OT or support team, and resolve it quickly.

Beyond product quality, local manufacturing supports Australian jobs, boosts our economy and keeps specialised knowledge in the country. It allows us to invest in our team, train apprentices, and retain trades that would otherwise disappear.

We also welcome therapists, case managers and families to visit our workshop. There’s something powerful about seeing the process and meeting the people behind the product. It builds trust and ensures that the equipment we make is not just clinically sound, but deeply considered.

So when you choose Novacorr, you’re not just getting a well-built piece of equipment. You’re joining a movement that values transparency, quality and community. Australian made isn’t a marketing slogan. It’s a promise.
