Our Staff: Employee Benefits

Wellness Program

Joondalup Health campus has recognised a need for more support services and facilities to be provided to their staff. To cater to this need, a Wellness Program for all Joondalup Health Campus employees is currently in its planning stages.

A wellness program is a fantastic way to promote a healthy lifestyle through proper diet, light exercises, stress management, and illness prevention. It can also include social activities and events.

Mission statement:
To improve the health and wellbeing of Ramsay Health Care employees at Joondalup Health Campus through the provision of a wellness program, which: promotes and facilitates healthy lifestyles; builds social networks; and boosts working morale.

Wellness program questionnaire
In September 2008, a Wellness Program Questionnaire was sent to all staff at Joondalup Health Campus. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff that took the time to complete this questionnaire and have their say about what services would best enhance their working experience. The results of this questionnaire will be released in the coming months.
