Sustainability Lead

Let's talk about who we are
nib Group's purpose is the better health and wellbeing of our members, travellers and participants, as well as the communities we serve. This is also reflected in our sustainability strategy.

Our vision is to play a meaningful role in maintaining good health and improving health and related outcomes for people and their communities, especially in reducing gaps in access to care and outcomes within discrete communities.

We also recognise the influence of a wide range of social, economic and environmental factors and the role we can play, however modest, in aligning these with our purpose. They include a sense of acceptance and inclusion, meaningful employment and economic security, as well as a clean and sustainable natural environment.

Let's talk about diversity, equity and inclusion
We embrace a flexible working environment and welcome candidates that reflect the diversity of the communities in which we operate. We actively encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people living with disability, LGBTQIA+ as well as culturally diverse community members to apply for open roles. 

nib Group is committed to creating an accessible recruitment process and employment experience. If you identify as a person living with disability and require adjustments to our online application, recruitment, selection and/or assessment process, please contact us at nibemployment @nib.com.au.
