Here are 9 reasons to join Stryker’s South Pacific team:

We believe in flexibility

At Stryker, flexibility isn’t a perk, it’s a core part of how we work. We're deeply committed to supporting the wellbeing, productivity and engagement of our teams, by offering four dynamic work models: Remote, Field-Based, On-Site and Hybrid. Whether you're collaborating from home, in the field, or on-site, with the right tools and support, we trust our people to choose what works best for them and their teams.

All of our corporate offices also have free onsite parking for employees, and every Australian office is a short walk from public transportation options.

We value work-life balance

We’re excited to offer all permanent employees an engagement day. An engagement day is an extra day of paid leave for all permanent employees that you can use to do something special with your friends, family or for yourself. This is our way of recognising the hard work and dedication our team members show every day by giving you the precious gift of time. This is not a day to get all your chores done , it is a chance for you to take time out for yourself and the things that are important to you.

We want you to grow with us

One of our core values is people. We grow talent. As a strengths-based organisation, development and coaching are a big part of our daily culture. Permanent employees are eligible to apply for educational assistance that would enhance their career at Stryker after 12 months of continuous employment.

Our internal mobility program empowers employees to explore new opportunities and take the next step in their career journey. Whether it’s a geographical, functional, lateral or vertical move, we encourage growth that helps you thrive. We also prioritize internal promotions whenever possible to support continued development within Stryker.

We support you through life's big moments

We know that growing your family is one of the biggest and most exciting times of your life, and at Stryker, we want you to be able to step away from work with confidence! Stryker’s team in the South Pacific is proud to offer our employees 20 weeks of paid leave for a child’s primary caregiver and 4 weeks of paid leave for secondary caregivers. On top of this, we offer up to 12 months of paid Superannuation, and the best part is that there is no tenure eligibility. We want to support you on your life journey as it happens. Our leave policy includes families adopting children or having a child via surrogacy. We also offer eligible employees a financial contribution towards childcare to assist in a smooth transition back to work following the return of parental leave.

We care about your wellbeing

Trying to find the time to stay active and balance your professional life? At our national headquarters in Sydney, we have an on-site fitness centre, comfortable on-site showers, changing facilities and ironing stations, so you can fit in a work out when it aligns with your schedule.

We have also partnered with multiple health insurance organisations allowing our employees to receive extra benefits on their insurance, including optional free annual flu vaccinations for all our employees in Australia and New Zealand.

We love to give back

One thing that makes Stryker employees one-of-a-kind is their love of making a difference. This is why we offer all permanent employees one day off a year to give back to their community and volunteer.

We have fun!

At Stryker, we encourage our employees to get involved with their teams outside of their day-to-day jobs. Whether you’re looking to give back to the community or celebrate diversity and inclusion at work, our teams offer engaging events you’ll be sure to enjoy.

We have an award-winning culture

In addition to local awards and recognitions, we’re proud to be consistently recognized as one of the World’s Best Workplaces. These acknowledgements reflect the impact of our people and the culture we built together.

We build belonging into our culture

At Stryker, inclusion isn’t a program; it’s part of who we are. From day one, you’ll find a culture that celebrates your perspective and supports you as you grow.

Through mentorship, open dialogue and shared goals, we create a space for connection and community. At Stryker, you’ll be seen, heard and valued in an environment where you can thrive.
