What we offer? 

When you join Injury Matters, you join our Injury Matters family. Work in an organisation where everyone knows your name and enables team members the opportunity to build meaningful collegial connections. We also 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. Additionally, for full-time and part-time team members, we provide three extra days of paid leave (pro-rata) and unpaid leave for casuals, over the Christmas period, which are above and beyond the standard leave entitlements, ensuring you have more time to spend with loved ones during the holiday season.

Professional Development: We encourage your ongoing 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 bringing your pet to work, 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 offer competitive pay that is above award rates. Additionally, for added convenience, 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.
