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).
