Aspen Medical is a privately owned Australian-based health service company with operations in several countries, including Australia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji,[1] Indonesia,[2] United Arab Emirates,[3] Somalia,[4] the US,[5] and Ukraine.[6][7] The company headquarters are in Canberra[5] with additional offices in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, and international offices in Washington, D.C., Abu Dhabi and Port Moresby.[8] Aspen Medical was founded in 2003 by Glenn Keys AO[9] and Dr. Andrew Walker.

In 2018, Aspen Medical was recognised as the Australian Exporter of the Year, and in 2021 was inducted into the Australian Export Hall of Fame.[10]

A May 2021 report by the Australian National Audit Office noted that "Procurement processes for the COVID-19 NMS procurements were largely consistent with the proper use and management of public resources."[11]

In 2022, Aspen Medical fell under media scrutiny due to large-scale procurement contracts totaling more than $1 billion awarded during the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]

Aspen Medical is accredited by the World Health Organization as a commercial medical emergency team.[13]
