About us
Our company name "Massons Healthcare" was established in 2003, after Orthotics Australia (established in 1995 by Anton & Kris Karak) acquired George W Masson & Sons Pty Ltd in Melbourne, Australia.
The Masson surname has been synonymous with the orthotics and prosthetics industry for over 100 years. The founder of George W Masson & Sons Pty Ltd, George William Masson, was an indentured apprentice in the early 1900′s in England, with an established company "Allen & Hanburys" in London. George developed his skills under the guidance of a Splint and Surgical Instrument Maker, commonly known today as an Orthotist/ Prosthetist. Shortly after completing his apprenticeship in 1911, George emigrated to Australia in 1912, taking up employment in Sydney with a local Splint & Surgical Instrument Manufacturing Company.
At the outbreak of World War I, George volunteered for service in the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF), and was shipped to Gallipoli, Turkey. While in Gallipoli, he suffered war injuries and after rehabilitation returned to Australia where he, because of his previous training as a Splint and Surgical Instrument Maker, was asked to join the Commonwealth Limb Factory at the Caulfield Military Hospital in Melbourne.
In 1930 Lord Nuffield, gave a grant to the Melbourne Children’s Hospital, to build and establish a workshop and train disabled adolescents in the manufacture of orthopaedic and prosthetic appliances. George was invited to supervise the building and manage the workshop for this Hospital. He would take on the role and continue as workshop manager through the polio epidemic of 1937 and the war years until 1945.
