What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I worker with were amazing.  We were like family and looked out for each other.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My job was high stress and held a lot of risk.  But it was manageable with support from my team and extended colleagues. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was fantastic.   Everything you needed was available.  The work culture was a bit hit and miss to be honest but we did our best in times of unsettling change.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very busy.  Up to 4-5 scheduled clients, possibly attending the hospital for emergency assessments.  Meeting with clients, families and other stakeholders, telehealth appointments and writing comprehensive progress note.

Patient hand-over from previous staff about patients and their required care. 
Mostly supportive co-workers and management (like any work environment you learn who you can and can't approach for assistance)
Having to pick up the slack of lazy co-workers from time to time. This impacts the quality of care I can provide because I can get stretch too thin, & this can affect my patients as a result - in mental health, this means that I may not be able to observe early warning signs of my clients decreasing mental state and act as promptly as I would have if I wasn't tired up doing other tasks which we're assigned to co-workers.
Having patients and their family thank me for what I have done is very rewarding! 
Seeing positive results physically and mentally are also very rewarding!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The area is beautiful and country with gorgeous places to visit

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management are at times totally detached from the reality on the ground. They seem to exist in a bubble driven by their own self interest.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I have few wordd other than toxic. Some of my colleages are lovely people, but management are just people who get promoted because they have no one else. They create the toxic environment, then blame the people on the ground for it.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I keep my head down , do my job and look after patients. I work hard to avoid management issues.

My job has been very challenging and interesting; learning new things almost every day. The working relationship with one another is very cordial. Most times as well, the clients being looked after are very lovely giving opportunity to demonstrate positve interpersonal relationship.
The hardest part of the job is getting overwhelmingly busy at times but this also has its benefit on the part of the staff: improving skill in managing busy clinical situation. \
Overall, I enjoy the emergency nature of my job; seeing my patients receiving prompt care in order of priority with discomfort put under control. I also enjoy the usual closely caring for patients liaising with other healthcare team members.

it was a good and calm enviroment  , on my first at work i felt nervous till i spoke with the workers , they were so nice and helpful . 
working in Latrobe hospitals gives me a lot of knowledge about working in team .the LR H workers worked in team to help a patience feel better and comfortable . i found it really hard to get comfortable on my first day but i had help which helped me and gave me confident .my enjoyable part is having lunch and chatting with the workers , the way they talk and share problems with it each other and solve is really interesting . i learn t something during my work experience  there is that everything is not only about money its also to help other benefit to make thing right

My job is based in the Critical Care Unit of our local Hospital. I am in close contact with the patients and their families, sometimes under very sad circumstances.The management and my co workers show respect and understanding to me at all times due to my manual work around the patients. I have learnt to be flexible, and very indiscreet when cleaning around the patients.
The enjoyable part of my job is the contact I have with patients and
their families, and to be of any help or assistance to my co-workers.

Busy and challenging but rewarding and satisfying place to work. Management and colleagues are very supportive and understanding. There is high turn over of patients because we are a Regional Hospital covering a wide area of Rural Victoria but we love it because we are here to help!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff/team were great to work with. Management were good

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
High pressure environment in ED

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Good management and communication

This organisation is unprofessional from the top down, Snr managers are bullies and aggressive, there is no nurturing of junior staff, support is non existent.
Work here if you want your mental health and well-being compromised significantly.

Good collaboration with different teams and disciplines. Bad management  who will not recognise and assist your needs. Unsupportive management. Enjoyed working with colleagues.
