Awful; stay away
SDC (Current Employee) - Cardiff NSW - 28 May 2022
Worked for this company for over 12 months. And it got significantly worse over time. Between the poor management. Useless staff and a manager that doesn’t care. Between the RNs who don’t know how to do their jobs. The unfair pay considering you do 4 different positions there and the fact they cap double shifts at 10 hours even though you work 16 is just pure unfair. I worked over the last public holidays. Was owed 21 hours public holiday rates and was paid only 10. Was due for 2 or 3 pay rises and never got them. Honestly just stay away. There’s no training what So ever when you start and are quick to throw you under the bus when you make a mistake.

Not a great place to work
Support Worker (Former Employee) - Nowra NSW - 18 February 2022
Management make you feel bad if you can’t do a shift They overload you with to many shifts, no breaks in between so constantly rushing to and from Cilents Some Cilents are really rude and ungrateful No notice if they change your roster/shift They favour certain staff over others Wouldn’t work here again May as well been a cleaner

An educative workplace with reliable people and good team work.

Pros
Good teams. Free snacks

Many residents to care for with less staff

Fairly environment to work.
SDC (Current Employee) - Caulfield VIC - 18 September 2021
Pay rate among the lowest if not the lowest in the sector and unfair time deductions should you be late to work by few minutes for one reason or the other. However if unfortunately you have to overstay by some minutes to complete a task, you're not equally paid for that.
Pros
They train on the job
Cons
Over burden with task without looking at the practicability of it being able to be carried out.

Hammondcare embraced the changes and all staff worked tirelessly to manage all aspects of this change. A wonderful and positive Aged Care Provider.

Fun work place
Community Care Worker (Former Employee) - St Marys NSW - 30 August 2021
I loved working with hammondcare, the staff in the office and other care workers are very approachable and understanding. It’s a rewarding job in the way of helping people and making bonds with clients. Only part that isn’t the best is the money for the amount of work we do.

Communication with management and workers was constant and professional. Regular meetings were set up for home carers to discuss needs and travel problems or scheduling to ensure workers were satisfied with their schedules.
Pros
Lots of quality training and constant follow up with staff knowledge
Cons
Homecare, split shifts or not enough hours

Enjoyable and on-going training
Part-time, Personal Care worker (Former Employee) - St Leonards NSW 2065 - 24 August 2020
HammondCare Sydney was my first entry level job in this field in which, I learnt a lot of skills and knowledge that enabled me to work more efficiently and provide the best possible care I could provide to my clients. Pay rate was average and for the amount of tasks required day to day, it should be a little more. There were also issues with scheduling. Quite a lot of last minute sick calls and I was asked to pick up a lot of extra work, which was fine but not enough notification time. Travelling to each visit can be a minimum of 30min and scheduling only gives exact times to get from A to B, not considering peak hour traffic that could push care workers time back. My manager at the time was fantastic and I could always rely on her to assist with any issues that I had. Met some fantastic care workers during my time there and overall Hammondcare was a delight to work for. I was also offered a position in the office though I declined for personal reasons.
Pros
Met a lot of wonderful clients and most care workers I met with were so friendly
Cons
sometimes not enough hours, last minute notifications, long travel time especially out of geographical area, salary could improve

Good but long distance
Community support worker (Former Employee) - Inner west - 18 May 2020
Management is excellant. They care for you and protect you. Hourly rate is so so. Distance between clients are too far and you will meet new clients every 6 weeks as you are taking care of them after discharge from hospital.
Pros
many hours
Cons
long distance

All personal patient hygiene. Showing, feeding,dressing,persoal interaction with residents. Documentation, recording vital signs. Management were available if needed. The culture was pleasant worked with multidisciplinary team. Staff worked well together. Hardest part of the job was being short of staff so the work was demanding.

No communication, cliquey, disorganised
PCW (Former Employee) - Various - 19 February 2020
See above. I'd rather not relive the experience - met some nice people but the organisation is very closed - almost like a cult. Common in this industry unfortunately.
