Sonic Healthcare Limited is an Australian company operating in the fields of laboratory medicine , pathology and radiology . The group also operates medical first aid centers and offers occupational medicine services .

The Sydney company goes back to Douglass Laboratories and has since developed into one of the largest diagnostics providers. It is represented in Australia, New Zealand , USA , UK , Germany and Switzerland and is the largest medical laboratory provider in Australasia and Europe and the third largest in the USA. Around 35,000 people work for the company.

The company was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1987 as Sonic Healthcare Australia Ltd. listed. It is now part of the S & P / ASX 50 and one of the largest medical companies, which is listed in the ASX, next to similarly large companies such as CSL and Cochlear . The company's strategy is to grow by acquiring companies overseas. Further expansion in the Australian market is limited and revenues are heavily dependent on the state health fund Medicare . The company has therefore diversified its revenue base by moving its operations out of Australia. In 2016, around 60% of the company's sales were generated in business areas outside Australia.

Fiscal 2018 sales exceeded A $ 5.5 billion .

Colin Goldschmidt is the managing director and CEO .
