Hearing Australia

I am posting this review because the organisation is called Australian Hearing and there are no reviews from audiologists.  Audiology is a lengthy and expensive course, at least five years full time university study and conservatively $40000 HECS debt. There are also ongoing annual costs of $500 plus, and some training in your own time, to maintain your provider number.  AH audiologists are paid similarly to teachers and nurses (see the EA).  Superannuation contribution of 15% for all employees, same as other Commonwealth employees.  My standard day was 8:00am to 5:30 or 6:00 pm, with 30 minutes lunch break. Unpaid overtime was the norm, for me, and I saw many other audiologists working the same or longer hours than I did. Lots of IT issues, which increased my workload.  Hopefully, these problems have now been resolved.  I worked a nine - day fortnight but needed it, given the lengthy hours and constant workload.  Not sure if a driver’s licence is mandatory but is needed as there is lots of travel to visiting sites and home visits.  I often used my own car as there was not always a work car available.  I was paid mileage.  You have sales targets so need to be comfortable with selling.  There is a bonus scheme, but only mades up a small part of your pay.  Generous parental leave scheme and family friendly work environment.  Most audiologists I worked with were part- timers.  Some managers are audiologists others are not. It seemed to me that non-clinical staff had good opportunities for advancement, without the costs of study.  Reasonably good training.  I do not know about work place diversity across the organisation, but I saw limited diversity, and inclusiveness, over several centres I worked at.  Would recommend this job for those seeking a part-time secondary household income.  For full-timers would work here a couple of years, for training and experience, and then look for something better paid.  I do not recommend joining the union.  Expensive and did not seem willing to help.  The same union covers most staff so no dedicated assistance for issues specific to audiologists.  Given the ageing population likely to get a job but might need to relocate, at least initially.

There was scope to continually learn which I enjoyed.
I was encouraged to learn new skills and was supported through this process. 

I was in constant contact with people from all walks of life and ages. I learnt that I was an excellent problem solver and through issues that would arise on any day you had to be flexible to the role.

The hardest part about the role was having different management styles that would cause conflict within the business. This I found manageable as I believe I was there to provide a service and I did this with integrity and with all of my ability.

The most enjoyable role was the clinical assisting with the audiologists and working with the children as well as the more complex clients.  
I worked with a fantastic team of dedicated Audiologists and Customer Service workers which was the most enjoyable part of my employment.

Repairing hearing aid entering setting and graphing everyday there was something to learn as most times nothing was repetitive always learning on the job. Management was good and helpful from different managers to general manager to head office staff and managing director.
The culture in the company as it's a National company was to keep everything the same no matter what center you visited you got the same service with a smile in which the center I worked at was special as the staff are so helpful weather it to other staff members or clients.
The hardest part was to keep a happy and calm manner when they are either on the phone or face to face and the clients are angry because they can't hear with their devices.
The most enjoyable is definitely when putting a smile on the client's face  when you have helped them with their problem and they can hear you as they as so appreciative of what you have done.

My time with Australian Hearing has been, on the whole, satisfying and productive, and my interaction with clients has been a very rewarding experience. 
A typical day would include receiving inbound and outbound calls, resolving clients issues in a timely matter, preparing files for audiologists, filloing appointments, achieving monthly KPI's, filling, bank, post/couriers, government claiming, minor technical repairs and marketing.
The hardest part of the job was time management and learning how to multitask  all tasks into one day. The most enjoyable part of the job was the satisfaction felt knowing the service Australian Hearing provides is to make a better lifestyle to those whom are hearing impaired. Knowing you may have made a small difference to the clients.

Great company to work for. I enjoyed my role with AH as a wonderful and sometimes challenging experience.
I believe I possess the necessary skills and experience you are seeking and would make a valuable addition to your company. Throughout my whole working career, I have worked in Allied Health Services that have been focused and inclusive in business and in allied health and seniors.
I am an enthusiastic customer service professional and an exceptional customer care professional who addresses inquiries and resolves problems as they arise.

A typical day starts out quiet but quickly picks up. Most days are busy with the quiet period being lunch but even then that time is used to catch up. Management has improved over the past year. Most people are willing to help you out. Support for personal matters is incredible and execs are very receptive. Day-to-day could drastically improve if there were greater communication and negotiation between centres and head office. Centres are being overloaded with work and resources to help ease this load have been cut to save money. Most enjoyable part is the clients as they are usually the kindest people.

I love Administration, Reception & great customer service
I have learned to deal with customers and clients from all walks of life.
I LOVE my co-workers whom I have worked with for eight years as Office Manager.
My job isn't hard, just busy and interacting with other people is my passion.
Unfortunately being a Commonwealth Government position, the position across Australia was made redundant. 
I'm looking for a position with all of these opportunities mentioned (a similar role assisting with people via phone and face to face, also administration if required.

Great place to work, just no time to hear issues with staff and resolve problems. High expectations to deliver targets and pressure to do so.

Travelling around a lot and unrealistic expectations on what is realistically achievable. I had both my knees operated on and it took a while to recover from that, which did not help me complete tasks as per their requirements.

Back to back appointments with insufficient admin time and a 12m old system that still does not work. Uncaring management only interested in budget. No flexibility or work life balance. Lots of travel obligations with little compensation. No career advancement. No culture and lots of KPIs with constant pressure to sell HLT. Sad to see the company change so much so quickly. 

On the road with clinicians was always very interesting and inspiring to see the care and professionalism at every appointment. Travelling to Regional NSW e.g. Cobar, Warren, Nyngan, Tottenham and meeting amazing people was always a highlight of this job. Providing assistive listening devices to people with hearing impairment and helping them to be independent and live a better life. 
Talking to school students about looking after their hearing health.
