Let's talk about something exciting happening right now: The healthcare industry is booming in Australia.
In fact, healthcare and social assistance is Australia’s largest employer, providing jobs to about 15.6% of the workforce. And the growth trajectory is even more impressive—the sector is set to expand by 25% over the next ten years, well above the national average growth rate of 14.2%. This means more opportunities across roles that didn’t even exist five years ago.
Sydney has fast become a hub for healthcare innovation. It’s home to health tech companies that are breaking the mould to deliver preventative health and social care in exciting new ways. You've got companies like Mable that’s making finding the right support worker as easy as ordering your morning coffee, while ResMed's taking on global sleep health with the kind of tech that sounds like it's straight out of a sci-fi film.
And these companies aren't just looking for doctors and nurses. They're after people who can bridge the gap between healthcare and technology.
Let's check out five Sydney-based companies that are doing things differently.
