Too concerned
Administration Officer (Former Employee) - Mile End SA - 8 June 2020
Too concerned about covering their own backsides rather than support the workers through culture of bullying and intimidation. Has been like this for past 8 years....

Aged care
Projects (Former Employee) - Mile End SA - 15 April 2020
Very stressful environment, top heavy (management), more profit driven than it needed to be, undervalues hard workers, management changes all the time, rarely promotes staff, lots of gossipers and HR were not equipped to look after the amount of staff employed there - and did not understand what the word confidential meant.

Not a nice place to work
Scheduling Officer (Former Employee) - Mile End SA - 20 January 2020
Bullying is their best skill and HR actually promote it. Below average wages and management have no idea what they're doing or what's happening among their staff. Glad I got out when I did!

Risky Business
Leader (Former Employee) - ACH Group - 6 January 2020
A contemporary philosophy and a history of greatness.
It’s a shame that ACH has lost its way.
Bullying and poor governance is the practice ‘de jure’.

Busy, challenging but rewarding
Individual support worker (Current Employee) - Port Noarlunga SA - 20 June 2019
Nice homely facility but a needed rebuild has been talked about since I started in 2011.... Aged care always run off your feet no matter where u work..... never enough staff, work load is to much.... A carer should be a carer not be in the kitchen and cleaning and doing medications... too much responsibility put on the senior staff members and communication is always a issue. Love my residents and I do love my job.
Only pay up to level 4 not 7..... that is ACH policy..... we should be paid at the level we are as senior care workers have alot more responsibility......
Never get any acknowledgment or recognition from management....
Pros
Making a difference in elderly residents lives
Cons
Residents passing

Friendly staff and great facility
Nursing Student (Former Employee) - Rostrevor SA - 3 May 2019
Through ACh mil para aged care facility, I was able to understand the difference of roles in age care and hospital setting. I realised that in aged care facility RN has a huge responsibility, yet there is a lack of opportunity to perform nursing skills.
Pros
relaxing and satisfying workload
Cons
huge responsibility

Easy to get lost in the big machine
Maintenance and Administration Officer - relief (Former Employee) - Adelaide SA - 12 March 2019
The corporate culture is not healthy. People are gossiping and there is a lot of negative talk at the Head Office. While their corporate values promote individuality and uniqueness, they enforce adherence to 'conformance' of the status quo. They do not care about individual experiences, opinions or suggestions, but only ever expect employees to walk and talk the latest corporate line.
They admit to recruiting into the casual pool and say that you can then apply for positions as they are advertised internally. However, they will keep people in the casual pool for years, especially if they can move you from site to site as it is not easy to get someone who is able to adapt to changed work set-up. They would rather recruit someone from outside and appoint that person to a fixed job while moving the poor casual person form site to site, having to deal with all the uncertainty of starting fresh every few weeks or just "holding the fort" while someone is on leave or away for training. I was in the causal pool for almost two years and applied for 4 positions internally in other areas of the business. Each time a person from outside was appointed and I was kept in the temp role until they moved me again to another 'casual role'. I finally left when I met someone who had been in the 'casual role' for more than three years.
Cons
no opportunity to grow career or get permanent position

Caring and Productive Environment
Client Liaison Officer (Former Employee) - Mile End South Australia - 9 April 2013
A typical day at work would be to first have a chat with the Stay at Home team. Then get stuck into sending surveys to customers, updating contractor details or requesting details, data entry of Stay at Home requests for assistance. Answering the phone.I learned how appreciative customers were of the Stay at Home program.Management were easy to talk to and approachable.My co-workers were extremely hard working, they worked together well and also had a sense of humour.The hardest part of the job was trying to get hold of the supervisors, as they were out to see customers during the day.The most enjoyable part of the job was the team I worked with, the confidence they had in me in doing my job and speaking with customers and contractors.
Pros
lovely left over sandwiches and cake from training sessions held at ach
Cons
no parking available.
