Healthscope Limited Employee Reviews

Strong emphasise which is not in congruence with staff who simply want to care about people and are not budget focused. Being a big company there are larger systems in place that give a feeling of security however there is also a sense that as a staff member you are merely a number on a excel spreadsheet in a boardroom.

for profit healthcare

Enrolled Endorsed Nurse (Current Employee) - Northern Beaches NSW - 22 August 2023

Deliberate understaffing for cost cutting. No training or support provided. Culture is toxic with zero focus on the patient. Its all how fast can we discharge.

Not a good place

Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - Glen Waverley VIC - 4 May 2023

Biggest mistake I ever made working for this company. The managers sit in their office's all day while their staff work their butts off & have their hours cut continuously. They don't care about the patients or staff here,only about making a profit

Pros

Made some friends

Cons

Minimum pay

Dangerously understaffed work place

Nurse (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 13 November 2022

Management has no respect for staff. Corners are cut frequently. Staff are unhappy and it shows. There is a serious bullying culture, high turn over of staff. The wards are understaffed, patients and families are left unhappy with service, this then is pinned back onto the nurses for poor customer service. Disrespectful towards personal circumstances of staff members. When issues arise for unsafe working condition conditions, all efforts are ignored.

Pros

ICU staff helpful and attentive. Free parking.

Cons

Long hours, poor management, inexperienced staff, high work load

Not a team environment

Endorsed Enrolled Nurse (Current Employee) - Darwin NT - 4 September 2022

Managers are not helping their staff, they don’t support staff to further their skills. Never have staff meetings and problems always swept under the rug or the manger says what do you want me to do about it. 5 staff have quit from the toxic behaviour

Interesting place to work

Registered Nurse Division 1 (Current Employee) - Wantirna VIC - 4 September 2022

If you get the right manager then things will work for you. Unfortunately due to staff workloads are becoming heavier and heavier. Depending on the team it can get very stressful as well.

New owners. New management that cut staff conditions. No collaboration and 14 RN resignations.

Student Nurse facilitator (Current Employee) - Rehabilitation - 4 April 2022

New owners and management created an unhealthy and toxic work environment which lead to 15 staff resignations in last 12 months. I would not recommend nursing in my hospital which is within Healthscope, My workplace is being eroded away by a relentless budget over safety and best practice.

Pros

Loyal staff

Upper management

No Health, No Scope...

Associate Nurse Unit Manager (Former Employee) - Wantirna South VIC - 15 October 2021

Management will continually take and take from you with no appreciation. Overworked, over-stressed. Expectation that you will work in sub-optimal conditions for the love of the job.GM encourages staff to pander to VMOs as they "bring in the money". Very profit driven with a strong business focus much to the detriment of the patients. Always short-staffed. Bullying culture. Management will find loopholes as to not pay personal leave or overtime. EBA is non -transparent.No benefits like salary packaging or extra super. Why would you bother? Stick to the public sector or NFP. Do not work here.

Pros

Friendly staff

Cons

Higher management

Disability Support Worker (Former Employee) - Victoria - 3 October 2021

i just prefer to work on the day but it's fine too to work day , afternoon & night. I am not well comfortable working at night because too much work also .Most unexpected happening if they asked something or not feeling well & also required to clean the house & b/rooms. Then have to read all through documents & medications. Check them at least every hour to 2 hrs . Change continence pads . Keep them safe at all times .

Very poor workplace culture. Obvious favouritism at both national and site level

Various Positions (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 13 May 2021

Large turnover due to long-term cultural issues at both national office and facility levels. Lots of favouritism and inappropriate appointments. Example, new Chief Nursing Officer role advertised as requiring x years DON experience. Person appointed (internally) has zero DON experience but is a ‘yes’ person only. Corporate office has a long way to go to align to other healthcare networks and did not take necessary steps to appoint people with extensive experience in these other networks.

Pros

Free onsite parking at most hospitals

Cons

Rewarded people for doing their job and not going over and above.

A fantastic focused company to work for

Victorian Payroll Manager (Former Employee) - Parkville VIC - 11 October 2020

One of the most challenging and satisfying appointments I ever had. They were growing rapidly when I joined and my skill set fitted perfectly with the growing and changing needs of the company. The staff, management and benefits were excellent.

Bad culture

Customer Service (Current Employee) - Hobart TAS - 30 August 2020

Understaffed and over managed. Building and equipment outdated in need of major upgrade. Too many long term employees with outdated skills and controlment issues. Culture is extremely bad amongst older employees making it very hard for new or younger staff. Quality of food has dropped since a supposed upgrade to menu.
