About us

Turning information into communication 

Biotext turns information into communication so that your audiences can understand and act. We’re passionate about science and content design, and excel at presenting complex ideas clearly, accurately and consistently.

We work with government, academic and private partners in diverse fields, bringing important projects to life.

Since our establishment in 1999, Biotext has grown into a leader in science information. We provide expert training in scientific writing, editing and data visualisation, and have developed the Australian manual of scientific style, now published in partnership with Macquarie University.

We are recognised for producing high-quality work, and are members of a range of procurement panels.
