Be yourself, belong here

We have big plans to achieve the best health & wellbeing for everyone in Australia. To get there, we’re seeking out and embracing diverse perspectives that help us challenge the status quo and uncover the best ideas.

We know that means continuing to strengthen a culture where inclusion is at the heart of everything that we do, for our people, our teams and our customers.

We are proud to be a workplace where you can be true to who you are and we are committed to continuing to building a workplace where you can be confident to bring your whole self, without compromise or judgement. We are who we are because we value unique perspectives that people like you offer. This is very important to us and by prioritising listening and learning from the diverse voices within Medibank, we aim to remove barriers that might get in the way of our people so they can thrive!

We are flexible in how we work, we like to challenge the traditional ways of working and we are committed to the health and wellbeing of our customers, the community and our people.
