Just no.

Catering Attendant (Current Employee) - Gold Coast QLD - 19 November 2023

Pay not great for the workload. Always understaffed. Very little support from management and team leaders and they are not approachable, nor receptive of ideas or feedback. Toxic workplace that needs an overhaul.

Stressful, unsupported workplace, toxic culture caused by management

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Queensland - 1 October 2023

Workload is horrendous, no staff to patient ratios. No consideration to acuity of patients so they staff wards with the least number of nurses possible & make up numbers with PCAs Management do not respond to concerns about patient safety. Staff leaving in droves bc of the lack of support and the toxic culture. Burn out everywhere.

Pros

Some great colleagues

Cons

Managements lack of consideration to staff concerns Unmanageable workloads Toxic culture

Worst health service I've worked for

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Parkville VIC - 31 August 2023

Avoid at all costs. Everything is about money and patient care suffers significantly. - Staff have high patient ratios - AM 1:5 PM 1:6-7 ND 1:11 with the in charge frequently being given a full patient load as well.- Your shifts are forever cancelled even as a permanent employee. If you refuse to be given leave for them not being able to give you the work, they will make you work at another facility which could be an hours travel away from your permanent worksite. - They rarely pay overtime even if you work extra shifts. - Executive management brews an exceptionally toxic culture where workers frequently feel intimidated and bullied. -Expensive car parking and no parking discounts offered to staff. -No incentives for continuing professional development, unpaid study days for mandatory competencies There is also very low employee satisfaction amongst the staff however like myself I continue to work here because I need my job to survive but am actively pursuing work elsewhere.

Pros

Nice staff tearoom, coffee machine

Cons

Inconsistent work, high patient Ratios, lack of staff benefits, lack of supported cpd, expensive parking

Great job but not much understanding of what a social worker can and should do by other AH practitioner’s

SOCIAL WORKER (CONTRACT) (Former Employee) - Nambour QLD - 26 June 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Learning different areas of practice where all the allied health clinicians work collaboratively. Great team!!What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Minimal amount of time to work with patients and no follow up allowances What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Culture was good as long as you fit the mould! Everyone usually stays within their own practice What is a typical day like for you at the company?Busy… referrals coming from doctors and other allied health professionals and not much time to spend with each patient. Triaging is important but you may miss important information and make poor decisions without giving each patient or family the time they need.

Good pay, poor management

Assistant Manager (Former Employee) - Gold Coast QLD - 22 June 2023

Working at Pindara Private Hospital provided me with a decent salary and compensation package. The pay was reasonable and met my expectations. However, I must mention that the management at the hospital was sub-par. There were several instances where communication and decision-making were lacking, resulting in confusion and frustration among the staff. The leadership seemed disconnected from the employees, leading to a lack of support and guidance. Additionally, there were some issues with organization and efficiency in day-to-day operations. Despite these management challenges, the hospital itself had a positive work environment with supportive colleagues and a focus on patient care. The facility was well-equipped and maintained, which contributed to delivering quality healthcare services. Overall, while the pay was satisfactory, the management aspects left room for improvement, impacting the overall work experience at Pindara Private Hospital.

Good culture and work life Balance

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Mitcham - 14 March 2023

I have been in this company for more than a year now and I always feel supported by all the team members and my manager. I did a transition program in the perioperative setting and it’s the best decision that I have made for my career.

All areas constantly short staffed, loyal staff leave as overworked, and poorly valued, poor client centred care as patients herded to and from groups to maximize company profits, staff duties roles minimized by unrealistic time constraints, Allied Health male dominated and toxic work culture with high staff turnover, poor introduction and on job training for majority, despite advertising new positions stating work flexibility there is zero flexibility, no regular CPD support or payment, no regular time in lieu, mostly no relief for staff sick or on holidays, a supportive group for a huge number of surviving but mentally depleted ex-employees

Pros

Nice patients, time off when you can get it - got to suck up for it

Cons

Long hours, terrible managers who praise themselves constantly, no career progression
