What we offer?

Wouldn’t you like to work in an environment that is supportive and genuinely welcomes diversity? When you join Injury Matters, you join our Injury Matters family. We have a range of benefits to support you and the essential things to ensure you have balance outside of work.

Family Support- Our team has many flexible working arrangements to support and encourage a healthy work-life balance.

Professional Development- We encourage your ongoing development professional development. With individualised plans driven by you, for you. We encourage you to identify training, projects, tasks, or even subject areas outside of your current role that you would value exposure to.

Community Support- Not only will you be making a difference in injury outcomes, but you will also have volunteering opportunities to support other causes that support positive community outcomes.

Wellbeing- We have a range of wellbeing activities for you to join in on, such as wellbeing Wednesday, bring your pet to work day, numerous morning teas (it's always someone's birthday) and regular team-building events. We evolve these in line with suggestions from our team. We love trying new ideas that support our team.

Financial- You also have the added benefit when taking annual leave to receive a 17.5% annual leave loading—a little extra for spending on holidays. We have pool cars available for our team, so there is no need to worry about driving your car to meetings.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)– We know that people who want to make a difference have big hearts. At Injury Matters, we believe mental health is equally as important as physical health. Our EAP is available confidentially to all team members.
