Gateway Health does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status, age, non-disqualifying physical or mental disability, national origin, veteran status, or any other basis covered by appropriate law.
We believe that a workforce that recognises and celebrates diversity will best meet the health and wellbeing needs of all the people we provide services to. This includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; people with disabilities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender diverse and intersex people; people experiencing health inequalities; and culturally and linguistically diverse people.

There are many benefits that come from working at Gateway Health, including professional development, supervision, a supported working environment, job satisfaction, and salary packaging.
Fitness Passport – A discounted workplace health and fitness program is available to you and your family. This means for a fraction of the price of a regular gym membership, members enjoy access to a wide range of gyms, pools and fitness centres as often as they like. The purpose is to motivate our staff to participate in exercise by removing the barriers of cost and limited choice.
Smoke-Free Workplace – Smoking is prohibited in all Gateway Health facilities.
Rewards and Recognition
Employee Assistance Program – AccessEAP is a confidential coaching and support service and is available to our employees as well as their families (parent, spouse/partner or children). Qualified professionals provide this service free of charge.
Your first few days with a new employer can seem daunting as you find your way around, become familiar with your responsibilities, get to know people, and learn about the organisation.
When you commence working with Gateway Health, we will provide you with a comprehensive induction into our community health service.
This includes:
A full-day organisational induction session, commencing with a welcome from our Chief Executive Officer followed by a series of guest speakers to introduce you to our operations and programs offered, as well as a fully catered lunch with them.
A ‘site and program induction’ is arranged by your manager and includes introducing you to employees, procedures you need to know, safety standards, and other information relevant to your program and role to set you up for success.
Our communications with you won’t end there. Regular electronic newsletters and monthly all-staff meetings will keep you up to date with what is happening across Gateway Health.
