About FREO2 Foundation

At FREO2 Foundation (FREO2), we believe every child has the right to breathe, live and thrive. We are committed to saving lives by creating and deploying new oxygen production technology to improve oxygen access and care at the under-resourced periphery of the health service.

Our team is currently focused on two major work streams:

1. Commercialisation of the FREO2 oxygen system and its constituent products to address significant market need for robust, reliable oxygen technology in low an middle income countries (LMIC); and
2. Establishment and growth of FREO2 operations to provide oxygen as a service in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific through a social enterprise business model.

We have start-up teams and partnerships developing in Uganda, Tanzania and the Solomon Islands, and ambitious plans to assist the treatment of children in over 3,000 health facilities in the coming five years through a model that is locally led and patient-centred.

FREO2 is looking for passionate, practical product engineers and technical managers to join our team in Melbourne. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the safe and consistent delivery of oxygen to health facilities at scale around the world. There has never been a more important time to focus on access to oxygen in under-resourced health facilities.
