Healthcare is usually slow and boring. We believe in its potential to be exciting and entertaining. But changing the healthcare experience is hard – and we’re gonna need all the help we can get…!

About Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus (or 'Euc' for short) is an Australian-founded digital healthcare company that is on a mission to solve the world’s biggest healthcare challenges - think fertility, and behavioural change around chronic conditions such as weight loss, diabetes, and mental health.

What we have achieved so far

🚀 Launched 5 demographically tailored brands and facilitated over 1 million medical consultations worldwide (Juniper, Pilot, Kin, Software, & Compound).

🌍 Built a team of approaching 500 Eucalypts in 6 countries (🇦🇺🇬🇧🇩🇪🇯🇵🇵🇭🇿🇦) consisting of medical practitioners, engineers, operators and many more functions!

💰 Raised over US$100M funding from the same investors who backed Canva, Uber, and AirBnB.

🇬🇧 In just over 3 years we have grown the Juniper UK brand, which is now our biggest brand globally!

… and we’re just getting started! Read more about our mission to change healthcare here.

What’s Next?

Off the back of growing the UK business 5x in 2024, we’re now on a mission to support over 100,000 UK patients to live better for longer.

In the UK, we run Eucalyptus’ biggest brand, Juniper. Our mission is to help women feel confident and like themselves, all year round. We’re doing it by re-designing how we talk about and manage the most prominent aspects of women’s health with a patient-first (not doctor or system-first) approach. So far, we’ve supported women with their weight loss journeys. We’ve combined medication with a tailored nutrition and exercise programme, all with the support of multiple healthcare professionals (health coaches, dietitians and pharmacists). In 2025 we plan to expand our services to a wider selection of health and wellness needs.

To achieve this, we are continuously building our team who are passionate about healthcare, willing to work hard and committed to investing in others through direct and honest feedback. This collaborative and proactive approach enables us to make impactful changes, improving the health of millions of patients globally.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
