About Us
What We Do
Giving Medical Equipment a Second Life
At Animate Contributions, we manage the entire lifecycle of surplus medical assets — from hospital collection to international delivery — ensuring every piece of equipment is safely handled, professionally refurbished, and ready to save lives again.
We combine technical expertise, experienced volunteers, and a passion for impact to transform what was once considered surplus into vital healthcare tools for communities in need.
Partnership & Collection
We work under formal agreements with hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers across Australia to collect surplus, retired, or out-of-service medical assets.
Our logistics and biomedical teams carefully plan each pickup to minimize disruption and ensure all items are handled with precision and care.
- Certified and insured movers trained for medical equipment handling
- On-site asset tagging and documentation
- Chain-of-custody tracking from collection to storage
Environmentally responsible removal and transport
Every partnership begins with trust — we treat your surplus assets with the same care as you do your patients.
Secure Transport & Storage
Once collected, the equipment is transported by our highly experienced team of movers using dedicated vehicles designed for sensitive medical devices.
At our secure storage facility, each item is logged, labeled, and safely stored in a clean, temperature-controlled environment while awaiting inspection and refurbishment.
- Professional handling to prevent damage
- Secure, monitored storage spaces
- Barcode-based tracking for inventory accuracy
- Prompt transition from collection to assessment
Disinfection & Initial Inspection
Upon arrival, every item is thoroughly disinfected using medical-grade cleaning agents to ensure the safety of our team and future users.
Our volunteers and technical staff perform an initial inspection to determine the equipment’s physical and functional condition.
- Surface cleaning and decontamination
- Visual and electrical safety checks
- Assessment for refurbishment, repair, or recycling
- Documentation of findings for internal records
Technical Evaluation, Servicing & Repair
This is where our team of experienced volunteer biomedical engineers and technicians steps in.
Each device undergoes a comprehensive technical evaluation to identify issues and determine the necessary repairs. Using their expertise, they service, calibrate, and restore the devices to a fully usable and reliable condition.
- Electrical safety testing and calibration
- Replacement of worn or faulty parts
- Preventive maintenance and performance verification
- Certification of equipment ready for deployment
Our volunteer biomedical team is the heart of our operation — bringing professional care, technical skill, and purpose to every device they touch.
Quality Assurance & Documentation
Before any equipment is approved for export, it must pass our final quality control process. Each device is tested again to ensure it meets all operational and safety standards.
Detailed documentation accompanies every unit, including testing reports, serial numbers, and visual confirmation of its condition.
- Compliance with international biomedical standards
- Transparent records for donors and recipients
- Digital logs and photos for accountability
- Final approval by the lead biomedical engineer
Packaging, Export & Delivery
Once approved, the equipment is securely packed and prepared for export. Our logistics team manages customs clearance, shipping coordination, and delivery to recipient facilities around the world.
We partner with trusted international freight providers to ensure safe, timely, and traceable deliveries.
- Custom packaging to prevent damage
- Complete export documentation and labeling
- Shipment tracking and arrival confirmation
- Collaboration with receiving organizations for a smooth handover
Installation Support & Ongoing Assistance
After arrival, we work with local partners and technical staff to assist with setup, installation, and user orientation.
We continue to support recipient facilities by providing follow-up advice, ensuring the equipment remains operational and effective for as long as possible.
- Installation and basic user training
- Remote troubleshooting and technical support
- Post-delivery impact feedback for donors

Our Happy Clients
See why clients trust and love our Medical Equipments.
I wanted to send medical supplies to a clinic in my hometown overseas but didn’t know how. This company made the entire process smooth and trustworthy. They explained every step and kept me informed until the equipment arrived safely.
We received a shipment of refurbished medical equipment through this exporter, and it has significantly improved patient care in our facility. The quality was exceptional, and knowing that this equipment could have gone to waste makes it even more meaningful.
Working with this team has been transformative for our overseas aid projects. They not only handled the logistics of surplus medical equipment but ensured it was fully functional and ready for immediate use.
The team at Elxa Group is exceptional. We were able to outfit our new clinic with high-quality, warrantied equipment (including an ultrasound and a couple of infusion pumps) at a fraction of the cost of new. The equipment arrived spotless and was immediately operational. The cost savings allowed us to invest more in staffing. Highly recommend them for any practice looking for reliable gear without the steep price tag.
