About our “Remarkable Futures” Graduate Program
18 months | Rotations | Mentors | Professional Development | Competitive Starting Salary
Our 2027 Graduate Program opens for applications in mid‑2026, with the program kicking off in February 2027 — so mark your calendar, set a reminder, or stick a post‑it on your laptop!
Who’s eligible?
- You’ll be finishing your Degree or graduating in 2026 and ready to jump into full‑time work with us from February 2027.
- You can legally work full‑time in Australia without sponsorship from Feb 2027 through to the end of the program in August 2028. (International students with Australian work rights — you’re absolutely welcome!)
- Our intake changes year to year, so keep an eye out for the 2027 academic disciplines and rotation options. We’ll drop the details closer to applications opening.
Rotations
Depending on your stream, you’ll rotate through the business in one of two ways:
- 3 × 6 month rotations, or
- 2 × 9 month rotations (these are the longer, more technical ones)
Rotations are an awesome way to see how different teams keep our members’ health and wellbeing front and centre — and you’ll be doing real work from day one (no coffee runs as “experience” here).
Don’t worry, you’ll have support every step of the way as you settle in, learn the ropes, and figure out what lights you up.
When you join us, we’ll work with you to pick rotations that match your strengths, your interests, and the projects happening across GMHBA — so every rotation actually means something for your growth.
Your Development
You might be wrapping up your degree, but trust us — the learning definitely doesn’t stop there. At GMHBA, you’ll kick off your career with a personalised development program designed to boost your technical skills, deepen your understanding of the business, and help you grow into the kind of professional you want to be.
What you can expect:
- A full induction that actually sets you up for success — so you know what’s what, who’s who, and how to hit the ground running.
- Unlimited access to 30,000+ courses through Udemy, one of the biggest learning platforms going around. Want to upskill? Prep for a certification? Dive deep into some cool new technology? Go for it. We’ll also create a personalised learning path for you, so you’re getting real world skills while solving real GMHBA challenges.
- Regular catchups with your Grad Program cohort, building your confidence, your capability, and your understanding of how the health and insurance world works.
- A senior Mentor to guide you, share career advice, and help you see what’s possible — plus a Buddy from Day 1 who’s there for all the “okay but who do I ask about…?” questions.
- A dedicated Graduate Program Manager who’s basically your career champion throughout the whole program, making sure you’re supported, growing, and getting everything you need to thrive.
About You
- You’re curious, love solving problems, and don’t mind a challenge — in fact, you kind of enjoy it.
You think analytically, ask good questions, and want to understand how things actually - You’re also a team player: someone who communicates well, collaborates easily, and isn’t afraid to throw your own ideas into the mix. (Seriously — we want to hear them.)
- You’re proactive, you do the right thing even when no one’s watching, and you take pride in doing great work.
- You might also bring a perspective that reflects the diverse communities we serve — and we love that. If you’re a person with disability or come from a culturally or linguistically diverse background, we strongly encourage you to apply.
- Maybe you already live or study in Geelong, or maybe you’re dreaming of the bayside lifestyle, the Surf Coast, and weekends on the Bellarine. Either way, you’ll fit right in — and with hybrid work, you can split your time between home and the office.
In short: we’re looking for remarkable people who’ll thrive in our supportive, friendly, genuinely good people‑ culture.
