From 3 am emergency deliveries to supporting families and veterinarians with complex medical equipment, Supagas鈥檚 medical team goes beyond gas supply 鈥� offering a level of care that鈥檚 deeply personal, and crucial in times of need.

In the early hours of a recent morning, Roy Nicolson, National Manager 鈥� Medical & Liquid Nitrogen Services at Supagas, was on the road before sunrise. A delivery of oxygen concentrators destined for Toowoomba, in Queensland, hadn鈥檛 arrived on time, and the local branch needed them urgently. So, Roy loaded the units into his car and made the trip himself.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 just what we do,鈥� Nicolson says. 鈥淚n this line of work, getting oxygen concentrators to someone urgently can literally mean someone being able to spend another Christmas with their family and not in the hospital. We can鈥檛 miss a delivery.鈥�

This quiet act of service is typical of a team that treats every customer with the urgency and empathy their condition deserves. And it鈥檚 the culture of 鈥榊es We Can鈥� 鈥� Supagas鈥檚 ethos of flexibility and care 鈥� that drives their medical division forward.

Providing more than just gas

While many Australians know Supagas as a leading LPG provider, its medical arm is expanding rapidly. The division offers two primary medical gases 鈥� medical oxygen and medical air, with a focus on expanding into nitrous oxide, and medical CO₂.

But what sets Supagas apart isn鈥檛 just its gas range. These gases support everything from hospitals to veterinary clinics 鈥� and they鈥檙e backed by the equipment and service needed to deliver them safely and reliably.

鈥淎bout 30 per cent of our medical business is in equipment,鈥� Nicolson says. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 just provide the gas. We provide the regulators, the masks, the floor concentrators, and portable oxygen concentrators 鈥� everything needed for someone to receive care safely at home or in a clinic.鈥�

The portable units, in particular, are a growing market. 鈥淭hey give people freedom,鈥� Nicolson says. 鈥淭hey can go to the shops, see friends, attend appointments. That equipment changes lives.鈥�

From small general practices to aged care facilities and veterinarians, Supagas supports both domestic and commercial clients. They鈥檙e also the long-term supplier to Ambulance Victoria 鈥� a contract that speaks to the company鈥檚 reliability and scale.

Empathy at every touchpoint

What truly distinguishes Supagas鈥檚 medical team is the way its people show up 鈥� often at the most sensitive moments in customers鈥� lives.

It鈥檚 why Nicolson has built a team with clinical backgrounds, gas industry experience, and 鈥� above all 鈥� empathy. 鈥淥ne of our team members, Naomi Hankinson [Internal Sales Coordinator 鈥� Medical] knows how to connect to our customers, in the right tone, in the right way for the unique person and circumstance.鈥�

And customers agree. Among numerous five-star Google Reviews, one customer wrote of Naomi and the Supagas team:

As I was a new client and I needed medical oxygen in a hurry, I phoned three companies to see who could supply and deliver quickly. Supagas was the only one that offered to supply my needs within 24 hours. Naomi was our phone contact and she was amazing. She set up our account, explained the different oxygen machines, their benefits, and the difference in price, and organised a prompt delivery. Even the delivery drivers were exceptionally friendly and professional. I can highly recommend Supagas and will continue to use them for my medical oxygen.

It鈥檚 feedback like this that underpins Supagas鈥檚 Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +50, well above the global median of +44, and reflects a brand recommended by customers who value both our service and responsiveness.¹

That level of human connection also applies to working with doctors and prescribers. If a medical script arrives incomplete, lacking certain items necessary for the patient鈥檚 care to succeed 鈥� they call the clinic, explain what鈥檚 needed, and get it sorted.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not just about compliance. It鈥檚 about making the process smooth and less stressful for people in tough situations,鈥� Nicolson says.

Growing into new markets

Supagas鈥檚 medical gas footprint is tied to its expanding network of operational branches 鈥� a growth story that continues to build momentum. With major contracts secured in Queensland, New South Wales, and the Northern Territory, the company is steadily building out its national capabilities.

鈥淲e鈥檝e recently been awarded work with national groups like Apiam Vets,鈥� Nicolson says. 鈥淎nd we鈥檙e setting up systems that allow us to manage larger accounts across multiple regions.鈥�

Built for something bigger

For Nicolson, the long-term vision is deeply motivating.

鈥淚鈥檝e seen what our parent company does in medical overseas 鈥� and I know what鈥檚 possible,鈥� he says. 鈥淩ight now, we鈥檙e a small part of the Supagas business, but we鈥檙e building something that will soon be so much bigger.鈥�

That includes recruiting specialist drivers, hiring more technicians, and expanding account management teams with healthcare knowledge.

And it all circles back to the core value that defines Supagas鈥檚 medical team.

鈥淭here鈥檚 an added sense of urgency when you鈥檙e talking about healthcare. Because you鈥檙e delivering equipment that keeps people and animals alive. And we treat it that way.鈥�
