GMHBA Early Careers Program
Our Graduate Program gives you the chance to jump into a mix of rotations and opportunities across our different business teams — perfect if you’re still figuring out what you love (or just want to try a bit of everything before committing).
In 2025, GMHBA was recognised as an Employer of Choice — which is basically a fancy way of saying we actually walk the talk when it comes to putting our people first and staying connected to our community (91 years and counting!).
With a team of 500+ awesome humans, we’ve built a culture where trust, recognition, and inclusion aren’t buzzwords — they’re just how we do things. So when you start your career with us, you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll get support, direction, and a whole squad cheering you on as you find your feet.
Your Remarkable Future Starts Here!
Starting your career at GMHBA means you get to sharpen your skills, try new things, and shape your career in the direction you want to go — all while working in a company that genuinely cares.
And we don’t just say “care” because it sounds nice. It’s literally in our DNA. It’s how we show up, how we treat people, and why our teams make such a big impact on our members, patients, and community.
Basically: great people doing meaningful work. That’s the vibe.
Our Early Careers Program gives you the chance to dive in while you’re still studying — through internships, placements, and real world student consulting projects that actually count for something (besides just adding to your resume).
About our Graduate Program
Applications for our next intake of the award‑winning GMHBA Graduate Program will open in mid‑2026, with grads kicking off their journey with us in February 2027.
Hot tip: our intake changes year to year, so keep an eye out — but here’s a taste of the kinds of degrees and disciplines we’ve welcomed before:
- Business / Management
- Project Management
- Health Promotion
- Health Information Management
- Data Science
- Technology (Computer Science, Software Dev, Cyber Security… all the fun stuff)
And yes, we’re pretty proud of this: in 2024, our Graduate Program was named one of Australia’s top seven Graduate Programs by the Australian Association of Graduate Employers.
(We don’t like to brag… but we absolutely will!)

Work Integrated Learning, Internships, Placements & Student Projects
At GMHBA, we offer plenty of ways to dip your toes into the working world — including internships, placements, and real world student consultancy projects.
Think of an internship or placement as a short term “try before you graduate” experience. It’s usually done in your second last or final year and gives you practical skills, industry insight, and a genuine look at what it’s like to work in a professional team (spoiler: it’s not as scary as it sounds).
Doing your internship or placement with GMHBA doesn’t just boost your confidence — it helps you figure out what career path actually feels right, grows your network, and gives you professional referees who can genuinely vouch for you.
And the bonus? If you smash your internship, you’ll get access to an accelerated selection process for our Graduate Program (as long as you’re eligible).

Because we ‘live’ care, we actively support the health, wellbeing and work life balance of all of our staff.
