Patients are our purpose. Science is our passion.
Established in 2012, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Australia Pty Ltd brings first- or best-in-class therapies for patients living with rare genetic diseases. Our culture revolves around the ethos that no disease should go untreated, and our people are driven to discover, develop, and commercialise medicines that give patients, their families, and their caregivers hope where there was little or none.
VOXZOGO® was registered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) from 30 June, 2022 and we have applied to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) for listing on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). We have also applied in 2022 for PBS listing of PALYNZIQ®, which was included in the ARTG from 14 July, 2021.
We have multiple sites in Australia involved in our global clinical trial programs, including for treatments for achondroplasia, severe haemophilia A, phenylketonuria (PKU), and hereditary angioedema (HAE).
BioMarin is committed to cultivating a diverse, equitable and inclusive community for our employees. We are focused on our most important asset, our people, to ensure we are the premier place to work and that our people can bring their best selves to work. More diverse and inclusive workforces drive financial outcomes; employee investment in work; creativity; and innovation, which supports BioMarin to make a difference for more people with rare diseases. BioMarin is proud to be named a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality” in 2021.
It is up to all of us to protect our planet. As global citizens, we strive to operate in a way that protects the environment and provides a safe and healthful workplace for personnel and the communities that we serve.
Our employees feel connected to their work at BioMarin because they believe in our purpose: the patient. The passion and dedication that our employees bring to work each day is a testament to the inspiration patients living with rare diseases provide, and our knowledge of the impact we can make. Our appetite for science drives us. Our team members motivate us. And our patients inspire us. Together we’re growing a company unlike any other, because our motivation is unlike any other.
Our focus on rare disease gives us the rare opportunity to truly impact lives.
