About Us

Helicon Technology began in 1987 as a small biomedical engineering company, the first of its kind in South Australia, providing expertise to a burgeoning industry.

A world of exacting standards

Since then, as the medical world has advanced, we have grown in many ways, and our reputation for quality servicing has grown with us. We now provide a total package for our clients, which includes advisory roles, compliancy testing, sales, and installation (as well as our traditional maintenance and repairs). In 2014, we became part of IQ Medical (another innovative South Australian company) incorporating our engineering expertise into the ultra-precise technology of ophthalmological equipment.

Through all this, we have remained – and are proud to be – a locally owned and operated South Australian Company.

When relationships are built

At Helicon, we pride ourselves on the quality of our products and services. We are proactive, accessible, and reliable, which is why we have ongoing, long-standing relationships with many of our partners.

Quality and Safety

Our industry has become more complex and specialised, and so accreditation is now a required part of us being in business. It’s something we embrace, which is why Helicon is ISO certified (AS/NZS 9001:2016) for Quality Management.

Helicon ensures that customers are compliant with AS3551: Management Programme for Medical Equipment. This exacting standard is what our business is built around, and why our clients can expect excellence in our biomedical engineering.

We use best practice systems, ensuring your equipment gives accurate readings (while also being electrically safe). Everything is checked, nothing is overlooked.

We take the treatment of your patients as seriously as you do.

Our Parent Company

Helicon Technology was purchased by IQ Medical, another proud SA company, in 2014. Helicon had a strong relationship with IQ Medical, providing technical service for their capital equipment prior to the purchase, but from 2014 we were officially part of the team. Helicon acts as the engineering department for IQ Medical, a leader in ophthalmic surgical products.

Our People

We are a dedicated team of people who pride ourselves on our proficiency and ability to problem solve. We perform many tasks and play many roles. We are happy to do so because being of service is what we are about. Our combined skills add up to one thing – being a reliable, quality-focused biomedical partner in your business.
