VetraHealth is now part of REMONDIS, providing specialist medical waste services across South East Queensland and Northern NSW
REMONDIS Australia announces that it has acquired Brisbane-based medical waste specialist VetraHealth on 11 February 2026, immediately integrating the specialist operation and staff into its medical waste division.
VetraHealth is an established family-run business providing medical, clinical and related waste services, and sanitary waste management to customers across health, veterinary, commercial and industrial markets in South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Current clients include veterinary clinics and veterinary hospitals, medical clinics, dentists, cosmeticians, tattooists and body piercing clinics.
Former owners Shaune Affoo and Shirley Affoo remain on board, so it is a seamless transition for customers, with fresh investments in people, fleet and equipment planned for the near future. The team will shift from its base north-west of Brisbane and integrate with REMONDIS’ advanced Resource Recovery Facility in Rocklea, to boost operational efficiency, customer service and price competitiveness.
A new medical waste processing facility is being constructed, additional staff hired, and the fleet expanded as the business pursues new government and private sector contract opportunities. The team focuses on medical, clinical and related waste services, including sanitary waste management. It is a specialised suite of services designed for the veterinary industry, healthcare sector and related commercial markets.
The acquisition of VetraHealth expands REMONDIS’ comprehensive range of specialised services to include the collection and disposal of medical, clinical, cytotoxic, laparoscopic, pharmaceutical, biosecurity and anatomical wastes. In addition, the team provides sharps disposal bins and sanitary disposal bins.
These specialised services can be bundled with REMONDIS’s conventional general waste and recycling services, with a single monthly invoice and a single point of contact. All services can be managed via REMONDIS’s industry-leading online Client Portal, providing 24/7 self-service and transparent access to data for operational and environmental reporting.
Combining VetraHealth’s collection capabilities with REMONDIS’ existing regulated and biosecurity waste disposal facility at Swanbank, and new autoclave sterilisation facility under construction at Rocklea, provides a unique ability to assist organisations to deal with the difficult waste streams originating from the health sector.
