Healthscope Limited

Health scope is a hospital based company and it has its pathology as well as community houses.i work as a disability support worker in a community house situated at Clayton, i have learned a lot in this profession like how to provide the good standard of care to the clients, i have got all the fair knowledge of tranfers using hoists and frames, how to take the clients out in community using electric as well as manual wheelchairs, how to to monitor the medications and to give all the personnel care to the clients as well. Sometimes,its difficult to handle the behavioral issues of the clients but then you have to be patient,calm and composed in dealing such behavioral issues.the job we do is challenging but the most enjoyable part of the job is the satisfaction you get in helping the clients and when they show improvement after the kind of a support you provide them. if given a chance i will do the best of the abilities to fulfill the duties of my job.
thanx

A typical day is very busy. Its a large payroll so work is quite repetitive. 
I am a very experienced officer and believe that some of my skills have been eroded while working here such as full end to end processing. My interpretive skills have grown though and my ability to work autonomously has grown substantially by necessity.

I find the management style to be reactionary rather than pro active.

My co-workers are for the most part a team of professional officers who perform very well under what is sometimes great pressure and possibly the best part of the job.

The hardest part is the lack of support from management. 

The interaction with payees. I mostly enjoy being able to solve complex issues and the customer service role.

Large turnover due to long-term cultural issues at both national office and facility levels. Lots of favouritism and inappropriate appointments. Example, new Chief Nursing Officer role advertised as requiring x years DON experience. Person appointed (internally) has zero DON experience but is a ‘yes’ person only. Corporate office has a long way to go to align to other healthcare networks and did not take necessary steps to appoint people with extensive experience in these other networks. 

Management will continually take and take from you with no appreciation. Overworked,  over-stressed. Expectation that you will work in sub-optimal conditions for the love of the job.
GM encourages staff to pander to VMOs as they "bring in the money". Very profit driven with a strong business focus much to the detriment of the patients. Always short-staffed. Bullying culture. Management will find loopholes as to not pay personal leave or overtime.  EBA is non -transparent.
No benefits like salary packaging or extra super. Why would you bother? Stick to the public sector or NFP. Do not work here.

I have worked at Allamanda Private Hospital for approximately 15 years and a great number of the staff have worked there for more than 20 years which indicates that we are happy in our jobs. 
I have made many friends there and have the highest regard for the nursing staff. I have learnt computer programmes and much about the health industry. The hardest part of the job is time management as it is extremely busy and requires multi skilling.

Management has no respect for staff. Corners are cut frequently. Staff are unhappy and it shows. There is a serious bullying culture, high turn over of staff. The wards are understaffed, patients and families are left unhappy with service, this then is pinned back onto the nurses for poor customer service. Disrespectful towards personal circumstances of staff members. 
When issues arise for unsafe working condition conditions, all efforts are ignored. 

I started work at 6.30 to open for 7.00am I always started early as I like to prepare for the day ahead, I worked by myself in a clinic which meant that I had to be very organised and that I could handle any tests that the Doctors asked for. The hardest part of my day is when I wasn't busy, as I thrive on interaction with patients and customers, but my spare time i was always on the intranet system studying,The best part of my Job was with my regular patients who came in for their weekly tests etc.

While been with Healthscope I have updated my skills with workplace training, which included online and face to face, also work at 2 Super Clinics which is also enjoyable as you work on your own and also get to talk sith Dr's, staff and patients.
Workplace colleges are friendly and there are times when staff do not see eye to eye on things.
 I enjoy chatting with patients as some are not local so get me people from all over Australia. also get to chat the Drs from the RFDS, and also other outreach towns.

check the list for your name to see what task you have been assign to. We rotate every 3 hours. I learn about instruments that the surgeon will use for an operation. How to use sterilising machine, and to make sure that the test has been clear to use.
The management is trying to re organise the department, so I am learning something new, and how to adjust myself to it. My co-workers are good some of them are quite lazy so others like myself will work extra hard to get task done on time. Which can get frustrating but I enjoy a challenge.

Very face paced working environment, stimulating. Challenged my skills, however, honed my organisational skills and learned new database skills.

Great staff to work with, Theatre Staff very helpful, Surgeons also supported me, therefore enabling the lists to production. 

A really great company to work for and I was very sorry to leave the company.  However, it was for family reasons to work closer to home.
