OPC Health

What OPC Health does

OPC Health is a Melbourne-headquartered B2B wholesale distributor of prosthetic, orthotic, and allied health medical supplies, operating since 1984 across Australia and New Zealand. The company distributes more than 3,500 products across four core categories: allied health supplies (clinic equipment, practice supplies, electrotherapy, hand therapy), compression therapy (stockings, garments, pumps for lymphoedema and circulation management), prosthetics (feet, knees, upper limb systems, fabrication materials, cosmesis), and orthotics/bracing spanning head-to-toe. It also markets three proprietary brands — ActiPro (exercise and rehabilitation equipment), OPED (orthotic components), and oapl (orthopedic supplies) — alongside distributed partner brands such as Jobst, Juzo, Chattanooga, Orfit, and Thuasne USA.

The business model is wholesale distribution to registered Australian healthcare businesses and health professionals, with pricing gated behind ABN verification and a separate consumer-facing retail channel (Braceable / oaplshop.com.au) for the general public. Distribution is supported by three warehouses across three Australian states, delivering 99% order accuracy, over 95% stock availability, same-day dispatch for orders placed before 1pm, and free shipping on online orders. OPC Health runs a national sales team and multi-channel customer service (phone, email, live chat) staffed by trained allied health professionals, with an online e-commerce storefront at opchealth.com.au serving as the primary ordering channel.

OPC Health serves prosthetists, orthotists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, hand therapists, osteopaths, lymphoedema therapists, and adjacent healthcare providers including aged care, gyms, and sporting clubs. The company holds preferred-supplier status with major hospitals and government health services, and maintains strategic partnerships with industry associations including AOPA, the Australian Hand Therapy Association, the Australasian Lymphology Association, the Australian Physiotherapy Association, the Myotherapy Association, and Osteopathy Australia. Its OPEDucate platform delivers CPD-accredited e-learning, webinars, and product training, functioning as both an acquisition channel and a retention lever. In May 2025, OPC Health expanded its podiatry and orthotic footprint through the acquisition of DBS Medical Supplies, a 1994-founded supplier founded by Dale Steedman.

Direct peers

• Performance Health: Global distributor of rehabilitation, orthopedic, and physical therapy products (formerly Patterson Medical). Directly comparable product categories — braces, exercise & rehab, clinical supplies — and serves the same allied health professional buyer.
• Enovis (DJO Global): Global orthopedic and recovery sciences company (DJO, DonJoy, Aircast, ProCare brands). Sells bracing, hot/cold therapy, and rehab products through distribution to physiotherapists and orthopedic practices — directly comparable categories to OPC Health's Orthotics/Bracing and Allied Health lines.
• Sigvaris Group: Medical compression therapy manufacturer and global distributor (stockings, sleeves, garments for lymphoedema and vascular care). Directly comparable to OPC Health's Compression Products category and shares the same clinical buyer (lymphoedema therapists, vascular specialists).

Broad incumbents

• Henry Schein: Global medical and dental supplies distributor with Australian operations (henryschein.com.au). Overlaps with OPC Health on allied health and orthopedic product lines but operates a much wider portfolio across dental, medical practice, and animal health.
• Ossur: Global prosthetics and orthotics manufacturer and supplier. OPC Health distributes prosthetic components into this same customer base (prosthetists and prosthetic labs), making Ossur a partial supplier and a competing go-to-market in prosthetics.
• Ottobock: World's largest prosthetics manufacturer, with its own Australian distribution serving prosthetists and rehab professionals. Direct product overlap with OPC Health's Prosthetics category; competes for the same prosthetic practitioner wallet.
• Essity (BSN medical): Global hygiene and health company whose BSN medical legacy covers compression therapy, wound care, and orthopedics. Owner of the Jobst brand (which OPC Health distributes); competes as both a supplier-adjacent and a category competitor in compression and wound care.
• Medline Industries: One of the world's largest private medical supplies manufacturers and distributors (gloves, exam supplies, wound care, durable medical equipment). Operates with broad medical-surgical focus globally; comparable as a wholesale medical supplies distributor, though OPC Health specializes in allied health niche.

Regional players

• Independence Australia: Australian not-for-profit distributor of healthcare and disability supplies including continence, wound care, mobility, and daily living aids. Comparable Australian B2B distribution model to allied health and aged-care customers, though focused on NDIS/aged-care rather than allied health professionals.
• Aidacare: Australian distributor of mobility, rehabilitation, and aged-care equipment. Overlaps with OPC Health's clinic equipment, bracing, and daily living aids categories and serves a similar Australian healthcare buyer base.
