We are determinedly inquisitive, perceptive and courageous, and nurture these qualities by employing people who share our passion for making a difference in patients’ lives. We pride ourselves on our friendly, collaborative, open, dynamic and inclusive team, with a permanent focus on the why.

Our Expertise

Medical

Our medical department spans Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia, working closely with clinicians across diverse therapy areas to ensure patients can access our specialist therapies. Our team brings both high level scientific expertise and compassion when providing information about our products and the patients for whom they make a difference.

Quality & Technical Operations

Our highly experienced quality and operations team ensures stringent standards are met when supplying our specialist medicines throughout Australia, New Zealand and across Southeast Asia. We are licensed to operate in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and in Singapore by the Health Sciences Authority.

Commercial

Several years ago, we made the decision to no longer incentivise or financially reward our in-field representatives based on sales targets, or the volume of speciality medicines prescribed by their customers. At the time, this was a first for the pharmaceutical industry. Our primary goal is to deliver accurate and relevant information about our therapies and build mutually rewarding relationships with our customers.

Regulatory Affairs

Our regulatory team is the ‘engine room’ of our company and our people have been highly successful navigating complex regulatory and reimbursement submissions in diverse and nuanced markets. We have deep expertise throughout Australia, New Zealand and across Southeast Asia, ensuring eligible patients have access to our therapies at the earliest opportunity.

People and Culture

Our values are at the heart of everything we do. We carefully select employees based not only on professional capabilities but on personal qualities as well. It is through our people that our reputation is built and reinforced with our customers, patients and commercial partners. We aim to recruit individuals who reflect our five core values of passion, integrity, teamwork, courage and humanity.

Diversity and Inclusion

We support a diverse workforce and a culture of inclusion to foster a respectful, equitable and inclusive environment.

We value the unique contribution that each person brings to ST and recognise that we accomplish more when people from diverse backgrounds with different talents and ideas work together. Only through the contribution of people with different identities, backgrounds, and perspectives can we continue to innovate and improve lives.

Developing our People

At ST we encourage appropriate further training or study and provide support developing our people to meet their individual career aspirations.

We know development is a joint responsibility. At our discretion, ST provides the necessary training to retain relevant accreditation qualifications. Employees who are keen to develop further are encouraged to discuss potential opportunities with their direct manager.
