why not use field level READ ACL for this?

you are not calling the correct function from GlideAjax, your syntax is wrong

Use this

var HideCategory = Class.create();
HideCategory.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    UserID: function() {
        var email = gs.getUser().getEmail();
        email = email.toString();
        if (email.toLowerCase().indexOf('@email.com.au') > -1)
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    },

    type: 'HideCategory'
});

onLoad

function onLoad(){
var gaa = new GlideAjax('HideCategory');
	gaa.addParam('sysparm_name', 'UserID');
	gaa.getXMLAnswer(function(answer){
if(answer.toString() == 'true)
g_form.removeOption('category', 'incident');
});

}
