Ambulance Victoria

Whilst my tenure was a short term contract, I thoroughly enjoyed the organisation's work ethics and culture. Staff were friendly and helpful. 

There were days when tasks assigned to me were challenging particularly when a timeline was attached to the completion. I was required to research other jurisdictions experience and seek their feedback using other models of operating systems. Contacting overseas stakeholders was challenging particularly when targeting the right division and area.

At times I found the flow of communication between management and staff could have been improved in terms of keeping everyone informed of daily activities. It was a period of change both operational and management structures and I felt there was a lot going on. We had interim arrangements in place and the new Minister for Health had oversight of Ambulance Victoria due to some negative media  Therefore stress levels were higher than optimal. 

All in all, I developed positive working relations with colleagues and admire the commitment and effort people demonstrated in their duties.

I love my job as an ACO and get on well with my team members they are like my family a typical day on the job is very rewarding because you are helping someone who needs it 
management are nice and friendly to and always there to help if it is needed
the hardest part of my job is not being able to save a life and the most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that I am doing something to help people when they need it

Working in the corporate division, there was a toxic working environment, where staff members get away with surfing on Facebook instead of productively working, workplace politics and gossip is rank and bullying behaviour from coworkers.

The company has zero care for their employees or for their health or mental health.  Management are bullies and at one stage I had to get the union involved as HR and management had no interest in what I was going thru.

The rosters are supposed to rotating but they never were.  There was no culture and most people dislike the culture.

The only downside to Ambulance Victoria is its job security. It seemed they were always going through a restructure and a department was always hiring being made redundant. 

No one had the opportunity to settle in their role and some colleagues felt like their department was the next to be made redundant.

Terrible workplace culture
Management in billing teams are bullies
Lazy staff with a 'handball' attitude 
Overpaid staff
Seeing paramedics run down from long exhausting rosters and hearing their concerns about no support
Trust no one in this organisation 

I learned that project management governance is vital for the success of project managers but it is not just about templates it's about the people side roles and responsibilities, stakeholder management and managers must acknowledge and support the expertise of their employees.

My position was through a contractor. The business was great Senior Management was great.  Sadly my direct manager was in the wrong position and has since left. I would absolutely love to work with Ambulance Victoria again. They are a very dedicated organisation for both full time employees and volunteers

Excellent exposure over 30 + years with many challenging roles . Whether  management, union active at state level or oh&s interaction.
All presented varied and many challenges.

Many changes and developments with operative nature over the 30 + years.

Poor communication with employees, poor mental health and well-being for senior staff. No alternative career paths, no progression for some streams and a lack of support for their staff.
