YORK, Pa. , Oct. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Unilife Corporation (" Unilife " or the "Company") (NASDAQ: UNIS; ASX: UNS) today announced that the Company's fiscal 2011 annual report to stockholders and its proxy materials for its 2011 annual meeting of stockholders are now available via the Internet under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Notice and Access rules and may be viewed on Unilife 's Investor Relations website at http://ir.unilife.com/financials.cfm.
