NSW Department of Communities and Justice Careers and Employment

Slow to medium. Often teams are very busy (due to inefficient processes) but things take a long time to happen / move through the system

A culture of over worked underpaid staff who work long hours in a challenging and stressful work place. No support. Poor management throughout the department And top heavy Evidence of workers burnt out and tired. Extremely high volume and heavy workloads. Very poor attention to mental health for staff and very poor work life balance. Workers expected to attend office to work office hours regardless of the neccesity to do so. For example no crisis to attend to and no clients to visit interview so staff required to do computer entry work and phone calls in the office despite this work could be completed at home. Often 10 to 12 hour days particularly in Child Protection Staff nearing retirement age not provided with opportunities to work reduced hours in preparation for retirement Some Staff moved from team to team for no apparent reasons without prior warning. The list goes on. No leaving or exit interview ever takes place so no room for staff who resign to make any feedback or comments
