Overwhelming workloads

Personal Care Assistant (PCA) (Former Employee) - Knoxfield VIC - 14 April 2023

Never ending shortage of staff. Too much to do with so little time. High expectations from management without any support from them. Staff members are great teamwork. However management won’t help you make any changes even staff is working till death

Pros

Teamwork

Cons

Management

Terrible experience at both nambour and maroochydore estia

Personal Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Nambour and maroochydore - 10 February 2023

Encountered one evening no regular staffs at nambour facility and then was only 1 agency staff in a wing at maroochydore. Management don't understand the safety risks of placing carers in a wing where they don't know the residents and being understaffed.

Pros

None

Cons

Everything

Overall a mixed experience

PCW (Former Employee) - Adelaide Region SA - 6 February 2023

They need more staff it was always a rush and residents were not getting all there needs met. There needs to be better communication between upper management and staff.

Stressful to work to

Personal Care Worker (Former Employee) - Lockleys SA - 2 December 2022

Senior staffs are not nice. Poor staff resident ratio. Carers were not valued. They expect us to do things even if its not in our work field. No pay rise.

Management issues

Assistant in Nursing (Former Employee) - Twin Waters QLD - 7 June 2022

The residents and staff are lovely! The home itself is beautiful.ED has poor communication skills and comes across as abrasive and rude. Short staffing is a significant issue also

Rewarding, though some staff and management can let it down.

AIN (Assistant in Nursing) (Current Employee) - Tea Gardens NSW - 28 May 2022

Depending on the ED of the facility can be a great workplace or the complete opposite. Some staff aswell love to make others feel awful. Though the people I have met are all really nice. If your a kind person that doesn't like to stir the pot, you will excel.

Negative culture and bad management

Administration Assistant (Former Employee) - Figtree NSW - 14 January 2022

The culture is super negative, backstabbing jealous staff that make up lies about other staff to have them sacked or removed from their job. They are lazy and do not have the residents or business needs as a priority. It’s all for personal gains. In my experience this is from the ground level in facilities right up to the area manager level.

Pros

Beautiful residents and a handful of staff

Cons

Bad staff and higher management

I feel very happy when I’m working there

AIN (Assistant in Nursing) (Current Employee) - Australia - 30 May 2021

I like this company because they listen each and every thing from workers. If there anything happens they give a chance to explain everything after that they take any action after full inquiry.

Poor management

Personal Care Worker (Former Employee) - Bendigo VIC - 3 September 2020

I was employed at Estia for 15 months as a casual whilst studying my Diploma of Nursing. As I was on placement we changed managers. After my placement I was unwell so in this time COVID testing had to be done I informed my manager. It ended up being a chest infection. I picked up a couple of shifts which I had to cancel due to this. I then picked up a shift for a day that I had school and rang that I made a mistake . Two days later I received an email from payroll saying they are sorry to hear I'm leaving . I never resigned, I never was spoken to by the manager or received any corespondince from this company . So I pretty much got tiered without a reason or any contact by the manager. Definetly will never work for this company again .
