7: Anyinginyi Health Aboriginal Corporation Employee Reviews

During my time with Anyiningyi I worked autonomously for a very long period without the assistance of an HR Manager. Prior to being made redundant one was employed therefore my position was no longer able to be funded and the HR Manager had far more experience within areas than I did.

Pros

Living within an Aboriginal Community, and having the opportunity to work closely with Aboriginal employees.

Cons

Did not have the HR support required to complete the daily tasks.

Could be a really good clinic

Renal Nurse Specialist / RAN (Former Employee) - Tennant Creek NT - 14 September 2021

What was once judged to be an outstanding clinic by AGPAL assessors has now deteriorated into one of such incompetent mismanagement that there are presently four nursing positions constantly advertised on this website. This would sound alarm bells in any organisation. Good staff have been let go, constructively dismissed or put on a list of names not to be reemployed because they asked clinically relevant questions not to the liking of the CEO and which exposed appallingly bad management decisions to the detriment of both the clinic and the community it serves. Tennant Creek has one of the highest incidents of DM 2 in Australia, yet the community was deprived of an experienced Diabetes Nurse Educator because she found herself on this blacklist. Clinically unsound decisions by senior management has seen a person with no clinical experience whatever being appointed as acting Nurse Manager. When staff began to raise questions about this and representation was made to professional bodies, a hasty change was made. This time the appointee (to the most senior nursing position is the clinic lets not forget) is the most junior nurse in the clinic with no previous management experience, The reason given by senior management is that they want the position filled by an Indigenous clinician. The consequences of having an inexperienced junior nurse in charge of a clinic whose sole function is to serve the health needs of the Aboriginal community of Tennant Creek will be to the detriment not only of the clinic but most tellingly to the very community the clinic is appointed to serve.

Productive and interesting workplace

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Tennant Creek, NT - 18 September 2014

My job consists of triaging, consulting and giving medical and nursing care to the clients. I also look after the Rheumatic heart disease and the recall system portfolios. As I have completed competencies and done more education in RHD, client recalls and management, Implanon insertion and removal, vaccination etc, my career has developed greatly As we got a strong and supportive management within an outstanding team, it is great working here. The hardest part of my job is to bring the indigenous clients to the healthcare. The most enjoyable part about my job is that I am working in a remoter area especially for the indigenous clients and realized that nursing is a call. I really enjoy my job
