What we do
Telstra Health is uniquely positioned to achieve its vision to realise a connected and improved digital health experience for all. ‘Connected’ not only refers to integrated platforms, but also people across digital health working together. Similarly, ‘improved’ means the health and aged care sector is ever-changing but we play a role to continually enable positive change for a higher quality care ecosystem; one that is equitable and accessible across all communities.
The breadth and depth of our innovative services and software, and the wealth of expertise and experience in digital health, enables us to support and collaborate with organisations across health and aged care to improve lives through digitally-enabled care.
Our teams work across the market segments represented in the below visual, providing our people and new talent a range of different career experiences spanning both technology, clinical and engagement opportunities.
Our values and behavioural standards
Our values and behavioural standards are our shared beliefs about what we stand for and how we operate. They shape our decisions, actions and culture, guiding us on how to work together.

Making our workplace a place where everyone belongs
We recognise the value of having diverse employees who represent unique perspectives and experiences and we’re passionate about creating an environment that’s inclusive and supportive, where everyone can truly be themselves. We know that diversity and inclusion fosters greater innovation and better customer connection, and helps us attract, engage and retain talented people.
Our various internal diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing and our employee engagement groups are responsible for driving significant initiatives that provide opportunities to support and represent the diverse identities and passions of our people. These four groups include RISE (focused on gender diversity), Spectrum (our support network for LGBTQ+ identifying people and allies), Yindyamarra Wakai (focused on Indigenous inclusion) and VIBE - Values, Inclusion, Belonging and Equality (focused on these key areas).
We're committed to
Champions of Change Coalition: We are proud members, stepping up the co-ordination of programs that reduce gender discrimination in the digital economy.
Equal opportunities: Our broad range of recruitment policies and programs help us address inherent bias that exists in the selection process, strengthen our representation of women across Telstra Health in all roles, particularly technology roles, and create equal opportunities for everyone.
Pipeline of talent: We ensure women are fairly represented on shortlists and interviews for technology and People Leader roles, and succession plans are in place to build a pipeline of future leadership talent.
16 weeks paid gender neutral parental leave: Our parental leave for all parents aims to give women and men equal opportunities to look after their family and puts gender equity front and centre.
Brilliant Connected Women in Digital Health network: In 2021, we have instigated significant initiatives aimed at improving gender diversity, equity and career advancement across the digital health industry. This has included launching the inaugural 2021 Brilliant Women in Digital Health award initiative and the Understanding Gender Diversity in Digital Health survey.
White Ribbon Workplace Accreditation Program: As part of our commitment to gender equality and creating a safe workplace with a culture of respect, we have begun this accreditation program in December 2021, set to take place over the next 12-18 months.
Supporting the health and wellbeing of First Nations peoples: Our solutions, such as the Communicare platform, are streamlining and improving operational efficiencies in healthcare organisations, used by the majority of Aboriginal Medical Services.
Ongoing learning and development: We develop learning and awareness opportunities for employees to better understand the backgrounds, cultures, heritages, languages and challenges of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Indigenous cultural immersion experiences: Selected employees have been part of multiple Indigenous cultural immersion trips, held on the private Homelands of Aboriginal families – with more opportunities planned in 2022.
Cultural and Ceremonial Leave available: We provide this leave to our people, so anyone who identifies as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander can use this leave to acknowledge significant cultural and traditional ceremonial dates.
Supported by our policies: Recruitment initiatives are in place to increase the representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples across Telstra Health, including an interview guarantee to ensure any shortlisted external candidates who identify as Indigenous are automatically interviewed.
Indigenous Internship Program: Providing Indigenous students who are passionate about working in digital health the opportunity to upskill, learn about the business and gain work experience for their relevant focus area.
Support and resources available: We’re committed to providing our employees with a working environment that promotes and fosters positive health and wellbeing, supporting the mental health and resilience of our workforce through services such as Thrive - our mental health and resilience program - and other support and resources through our EAP provider, Benestar.
Promoting our culture from within: Throughout the calendar year, activities and initiatives are organised to highlight the importance of wellbeing, marked by days of significance, such as R U OK? Day and World Mental Health Day.
Flexible working arrangements to suit your needs: We know you have a life outside of work, so our Flexible Work Policy helps our people work in a way that suits them, whether the reason be for family, capacity to work, mental health or any other personal reasons.
Different leave options available: You can make use of our Parental Leave Policy of 16 weeks paid leave, Personal and Compassionate Leave, Volunteer Leave, Cultural and Ceremonial Leave, Study and Exam leave, career breaks and purchase additional leave. From 2020-2021, we introduced both Pandemic Leave and a Wellbeing Day due to the impacts of the pandemic to further support our people during this difficult, and ongoing, period.
Your learning and development: Free access to LinkedIn Learning for both your professional and personal development. If you’re in a technical role, you will have free access to O’Reilly Learning, an exclusive technology learning platform.
