Australia’s health system is world class, supporting universal and affordable access to high quality medical, pharmaceutical and hospital services, while helping people to stay healthy through health promotion and disease prevention activities.
The Department of Health has a diverse set of responsibilities, but throughout there is a common purpose, which is reflected in our Vision statement: Better health and wellbeing for all Australians.
The Department uses social media to share links and information about health policies and programs. Information about the Department's guidelines and moderation of social media accounts can be found at www.health.gov.au/using-our-websites/social-media

We aim to achieve our Vision through strengthening evidence-based policy advising, improving programme management, research, regulation and partnerships with other government agencies, consumers and stakeholders.
We deliver on our vision through our people. One of our strengths is our proud culture of teams working together to get things done swiftly, collegiality and professionally. ‘Our way’ means:
• Leaders being clear on their expectations on ‘how’ we do business
• Allowing people to deliver high quality work in tight timeframes by sharing information and expectations upfront
• Supporting each other to learn and use new skills to build our capability
• Identifying and managing risks strategically while also being innovative
• Expecting high quality professional performance from each other
• Looking outside the Department’s own viewpoint to work with the community and listen to their views.
We recognise the skills, dedication and diversity of our employees, whether they are working in the Red Centre, the Top End or in one of our remote or regional communities.
The Territory is a place of opportunity and we offer exciting careers across a range of sectors.
We value innovation and understand that our employees are our biggest asset, which is why we are big believers in maintaining a work-life balance.
We, as a government, are working hard to improve the lives of all Territorians. This includes laying the foundations of what is likely to be the biggest period of growth in the Territory’s history, with a strong focus on developing Northern Australia.
It’s an exciting time to be a Territorian, and unlocking the full potential of Northern Australia will boost Australia’s prosperity - increasing exports and employment to ensure Australia’s position among the world’s top economies is protected.
Join us as we plan for the future of the Territory, the future of North, and the future of Australia.
