My typical day at work was very stressful I can’t fault everything while working for VMCH I had some good memories, I did learn a lot a specialy in first few years then lots of changes in management, didn’t feel appreciate it at all except my clients and their family they gave me lots of support and for that I thank all the clients and their family at VMCH
Cons
Long hrs
One cannot hve input on a resident, its managements way or the HIGHWAY, you are made to feel little by particilar RNS, then when you address the situation, there is always an eccuse..love my job hate management
Pros
Great RSW
Cons
Management are horrible
The culture is fun and fast paced. The work is meaningful by supporting people with disabilities and older people live the life they choose. The leadership of the CEO - especially through COVID has been excellent.
Rarely any social staff time with Team. Working autonomously a lot of the time or with one other worker under difficult circumstances or with children with complex needs and behaviours.
Pros
collaborative Team workers.
Cons
no set meal breaks, only meals eaten when possible.
It's a good place to work excellent education and postive staff mangement need to support staff mote and if mistakes are made take the time to talk to staff and not to blame. Should have a no blame policy.
I am a casual employee I currently have only one client who requires support four hours per week. I would like to have more shifts. I enjoy working with my client. She and I have a great relationship and I hope we continue together.
I have worked for VMCH for many years and found the organisation good to work for with many roles available and good advancement.
The merge and changes to management were difficult however, they have settled and business is starting to run smoothly.
Due to implementation of Federal changes lots of changes and movement. Slowly growing and implementing new systems to assist with change and allocating new supports to ease backlogs.
Pros
Helping people
Cons
constant change
I work in a day program in villa maria.This program includes activities for the clients with disability to encourage them to develope their skills in those activities,like swimming,music,yoga,listening stories,interactive interactions,music and movements etc.It is very interesting to interact with innocent people and enjoyable too.We have to be very careful about their health matters like epilepsy management.It is very enjoyable to make them happy when they do beautiful craft works.
Pros
Relaxing job
Cons
Short shifts
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.
Jobs at Villa Maria Catholic Homes
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.

An Amazing Organisation to be a part of. I have had the pleasure to work for Villa Maria before I had children and now Villa Maria Catholic Homes presently.
Pros
Amazing staf and great support
Cons
Driving 45 kms each way to and from work

Providing care to especially the elderly brings joy and happiness to see the appreciation they show and drives me more to want to provide quality care
Pros
mixing with people
Cons
long hours and tiring
I have learned a lot working in villa maria as a food service attendant.i have learned to deepend my patience and understanding not only to my work mates but to the resident as well.
i had learned from my experience to always get ready and prepare myself for any changes in management or any challenges.
the most enjoyable part is when my hard work being recognized by the resident and the management
good people to work with.
very rewarding job with good benefits.
Learned a lot, lots of training with certificates to prove it.
Enjoyed my time here, supportive staff, included in all in house training, and staff meetings. Enjoyed being able to build a good re pore with residents and gaining confidence in staff and management to handle residents dependently in a short time of working their.
I have enjoyed working as an AIN at the Villa Maria RACF for the last 13 years. I have become a senior member of staff during this time and have trained and mentored many of the new staff coming through. I have developed strong relationships with the residents and I have very much enjoyed this aspect of the work.

Constantly changing work duties, challenging role to keep your work interesting and rewarding. Excellent work life balance and mangment that is supportive and easy to relate too.
