42: Royal Perth Hospital Employee Reviews

Disorganised, unprofessional and often chaotic environment to work in. Staff are in senior and management positions that they are inexperienced for and the rest of the work force suffers. Essentially zero standards, staff I worked with have repeatedly practiced in dangerous ways for years and management looks the other way. This health service is built on the culture of looking good on paper and audits, while ignoring important issues that directly impact staff and patient safety.

Pros

Nil

Cons

Expensive parking

Worst work culture ive ever experienced

security officer (Former Employee) - Perth WA - 24 April 2021

Work place bullying is rife, from people you work with through to management. Unless you are part of their purple circle within their team, you will find it hard to get hours due to management. From day one, both myself and others were ridiculed by certain fulltime staff. Management here promote this type of behaviour.

Pros

Good roster if full time

Cons

Work place bullying, no chances of position advancement

Great work place

Great place to work with supportive staff, clients and executives. Unfortunately employed on contract with many short-term contract renewals rolled over over the years, so stability is difficult. However love working here and sad to go.

Busy but working with great team of women at the Triage Desk ED

Clerical Officer (Former Employee) - Perth City WA - 18 February 2020

Royal Perth Hospital ED was a very busy department. As this was ED shifts were 24 hour round the clock. I enjoyed patient contact, and being able to sympathise with quite often very difficult stressful situations with in family units as they passed through ED and then to other wards. My line manager was great, and very humorous. I worked with a great team of Ladies as well. Overall an enjoyable time and I definitely gained further work skills along the way.

i never got paid because it was or experience

Work Study Student (Former Employee) - perth WA - 8 July 2018

a normal day working at royal per is usualy at a pretty quirt but also busy, everyone has their work to do and want to finish on time. on a busy day its no so quiet and definatly busy as we are incharge of the files and need to have patients files/documents ready to be taken if there is an emergency of any sort. the employees are amazing everyone know everyone and can talk to anuone and they always have something to talk about the would make people lauch, which really helps the work emvironment to be less stressfull and boring as it is very prepetitive. the hardest part is just keeping up to date and how repetitive the work is, it gets me duzzy because i have to spend hours finding and soring out files. the most enjoyable part would definitly be working with the employers there their just all so friendly and have such a good vibe to be around.

Pros

choosing what time you wanted to have break

Cons

workload
