Queensland Health Employee Reviews

Challenging work, great environment, solid ethos. I suffered a mental health breakdown during my time at QH and they went above and beyond to support me through this time and phase me back into work. Could not ask for a more supportive management and team. Of course, QH is a vast organisation and your experience may differ. I work at the Health Contact Centre in Brisbane.

Supportive environment

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Ipswich QLD - 7 June 2023

Working as a registered nurse can be tough at times as expected however my colleagues are all very supportive. The pay should be higher and we should get more benefits

Toxic employer

Consultant (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 19 May 2023

Whether you are clinical, admin, or support you will be treated like a paper clip. You will constantly be bombarded with emails about the brilliant corporate culture but you will be treated like a serf. Pay office will mess up your pay and leave. You will work overtime that you won’t be allowed to claim. If you ever step out of line you will be “performance managed “ until you quit.

an organisation i worked for a period of 25 years and they have many issues to address.

Hospitality All Rounder (Former Employee) - Queensland - 2 April 2023

QLD Health have a number of issues to address within their organization, they do not listen to staff who have constructive criticism about what needs to change in the workplace. After 25 years of service in multiple roles you would think they would listen, they don't. the qld government needs to change the culture within from the top to the bottom, and not be in denial.

Pros

government job

Cons

way too many issues within workplace

Severe Negative Culture and Environment

Client Service Officer (Former Employee) - Cairns QLD - 17 February 2023

Nepotism reigns. It is not what you it is who you know. It would be interesting to do a questionnaire in regards to relationships to ascertain the percentage of staff who were actually employed on merit and those who were in some way connected to other staff.

Pros

None

Cons

None

Terrible place to work

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Townsville QLD - 7 December 2022

Undervalued, unappreciated and underpaid. Bullying management and impossible to get annual leave. Do not recommend this place to anyone. It is soul destroying and will overtake your life, shift work is relentless and day after day is a cycle of stress out on staff my managers. Patient acuity is getting worse and worse while more and more is expected by nurses.

Pros

None

QLD Health provides so many options for MH nursing

Registered Nurse (RN) (Current Employee) - Toowoomba - 11 October 2022

Great management has been so bombed with stress from COVID … and we have all struggled with working such extensive hours. Positively supporting permanent nursing staff has continued regardless of managements own struggles .. such as retirements & skill mix.

Pros

Extensive nursing career options

Cons

IT options & selective training times for new graduates

Queensland childrens hospital- stable position but typical competitive nurses

Support Worker (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 30 August 2022

Queensland Health is a massive organisation so obviously I can only speak for the department I worked in. To begin with I was an in home support worker and I also worked in the operating theatre setting up for operations. I didn't have too much interaction with the staff as I wasn't a registered nurse. The people I did talk to at Queensland Children's Hospital were really friendly but you soon got to know the less friendly areas... (namely the ER).

Pros

Good pay- job stability

Cons

Sick children

Disappointing let down.

Casual Supply Officer (Former Employee) - Rockhampton QLD - 22 May 2022

The actual work itself was fine, it's what I expected. However nepotism in my particular area's management made it clear I was not advancing beyond my actual role. Applied for other positions that I was more than qualified for only to be overlooked by management in favour of their friends and family members. Payroll is convoluted, too many cogs in the system. Didn't get paid for nearly six weeks and was taxed at a higher percentage as payroll couldn't get their act together and lodge my paperwork that I gave them on my first day. Overall, a disappointing experience.

Very clean environment.

Kitchen Hand (Current Employee) - RBH - 23 April 2022

Workplace culture is toxic and Nurses are overworked with long shifts. HR play games with your contract and you don't know from month to month if you are still employed with Queensland Health.

Pros

Clean and safe place to work

Cons

All jobs are contracts with no permanent positions available to long serving staff
