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 listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) from 1 May 2023 for patients with achondroplasia whose growth plates are not closed. KUVAN® PBS listing was expanded from 1 April 2023 to include adult patients with phenylketonuria (PKU).
We have multiple sites in Australia involved in our global clinical trial programs, including for treatments for achondroplasia, severe haemophilia A, and hereditary angioedema (HAE).
The BioMarin community reflects the progress we have made in fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce. For employees to reach their full potential, we must support them in every way – from embracing their unique backgrounds and experiences, to applying fair and equitable compensation practices.
To support our comprehensive DEI effort, we are actively pursuing three special areas of focus from 2022 to 2025:
• Increase Female Representation Among Top Leaders – Among top leadership, our percentage of women continues to increase, with the number of women VPs and above rising in four of the past five years. We are actively working to extend this upward trajectory and accelerate the addition of more women to our executive ranks.
• Increase People of Colour Representation – We are taking active steps to ensure more People of Color in Australia are represented at higher leadership levels, recruit more entry-level non-White talent, and provide biomedical education opportunities for underrepresented youth.
• Increase Pay Equity to the Fullest Extent Globally – We are an industry leader in pay equity, championing fair and equitable compensation for our employees. We will increase pay equity even more across our company, utilising all available data to ensure equity in each global region to the fullest extent possible.

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.
