Friendly workplace, old building,
Personal Care Worker (Current Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 25 January 2018
I have worked for the facility for 6 years now. Since VMCH have taken over not much as changed. We still have the same amount of carers on the floor with an increasing number of resident's with high care needs, as we are aging in place and no longer send resident's requiring more care to another facility. The building itself is quite dated, not equipped with facilities big enough for residents requiring machines to transfer them, bathrooms are small, there is not much room for storage of machines. We used to have a dementia specific area with secured doors for safety, those doors are taken down and everyone is mixed together creating many more behaviours with people with dementia being in a loud environment and often they are able to abscond from the facility with visitors putting them in increasing danger of becoming lost and harmed. A new facility was proposed to be built 3years ago, nothing has eventuated and we are left with a facility that was never built for any of this.

Be cautious
Disability Support Worker (Former Employee) - Kew VIC - 23 December 2017
The HR department bully and intimidate employees and give out incorrect information to employees regarding their entitlements. They put employees at risk by not providing adequate support and information to keep them safe in the workplace. Incompetent management who do not know relevent laws and acts applicable to the industry.
Pros
salary sacrificing, nice ground staff, beautiful clientele
Cons
management are incompetent

Clean floor before elders waking up in the early morning
Floor Cleaner (Former Employee) - Bundoora VIC - 18 April 2017
It's a typical cleaning job with a cleaning machine and a vacuum cleaner. It's my first part-time job in Australia. The local manage make me realized that responsibility is not just saying with mouth, I need to do it well for both salary and elders. The hardest part of this job for me is that I have to get up very early in the morning. And the happy moment for me is when I finished cleaning work, left while elders woke up and smiling to me. This motivate me to get up every morning.
Pros
feel happy when I finished clean and saw elders waking up
Cons
need to get up so early
