We are Whiteley

As Australia’s largest manufacturer of sterilants, disinfectants and healthcare cleaning technologies, Whiteley have been protecting lives and livelihoods since 1933.

Who We Are

Whiteley is a TGA licensed manufacturer of therapeutic goods and on the campus in Tomago in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, they manufacture innovative products that enable cleaning and disinfection that meet international standards. Whiteley provide quality products in the fields of Endoscopy, Surgical and Theatre, Hospital Infection Prevention, Central sterilisation departments, Aged care, Contract cleaning and Professional cleaning services.

Whiteley remains an Australian family-owned business led by Dr Greg Whiteley, a world renowned expert on Infection Prevention and Control. The Business operates throughout Asia Pacific and exports to over 20 international markets including across Southeast Asia, China and the US.

At Whiteley there is a obsessive focus on clinical research to drive constant innovation in the vital area of Infection Prevention. Their commitment to research programs in emerging fields such as bacterial biofilms are driving world first technologies in this area, including Surfex® which holds the title of the world’s first dry surface biofilm remover. Several Whiteley publications are recognised as seminal papers in field, particularly with Dry Surface Biofilms.


Whilst the height of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic may be behind us, Superbugs do and will continue to take lives. This will remain a core focus for Whiteley and they continue to focus on the development of appropriate hygiene interventions. Whiteley are researching how superbugs bind onto surfaces, and the transfer mechanisms that lead to others becoming infected. Understanding how to stop these biofilms forming and contributing to patient infections has the potential to save thousands of lives. The intent is not to replace antibiotics, but to provide additional processes and defences in the prevention or treatment of infections. In recognition of his groundbreaking work, Dr Greg Whiteley was recently appointed as an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney.

From beginnings during the Great Depression, to a global fight against Pandemics and Superbugs the future looks bright for Whiteley. With new products, new claims, new research, new facilities and many new product opportunities being investigated they look forward to delivering even more leading cleaning and disinfection technology to the market in the future.

Dr Greg Whiteley added “whilst there is still the ability to protect lives and livelihoods we will be continuing to fulfill our company mission of protecting lives and livelihoods.’’
