OMNI-CARE Pty Ltd

they make people over worked. management is horrible. Having to work back pretty much everyday.  and also you have buy printer and print all the roster ever night before next day people are always leaving the workplace and always new people coming in.and also I left the company with in 2weeks of getting the job they pay you $28 hourly for going to home to home Services sometimes they will give you 1hour shift you will ended up driving more than your work hours they will also make you work as Domestic assistant 4 bed ,2 bath ,vacuum, mop you have to complete all the task with in 1.5hour then drive 30 minute to do the same thing in another house so bad for your health if you are going clean house after house. overall I don't recommend this kind of company to anyone avoid all of them at all cost.

I started working in mid-Dec. and ended in early March; this was because my nursing course schedule was in conflict with work schedule, resulting with less than 10 hours work period.  During my time, it was pretty fun and honestly, I feel like I've brought some smiles to elderly clients whom have been cooped up in their home. The coordinators are great to talk to and very friendly; at times, coordinators get too busy that they do forget to call back so you need to be pro-active. The pay is based on government standards so there is no need to worry about it though pay is fortnightly. As for clients, 99% of them are friendly and laid-back; there are some who will be aggressive towards strangers but they become friendly once they get to know you more. Do bring water with you as you will be working out... literally, be covered in sweat as some houses do not have air con and just so the weather is 40C outside.

No matter how hard I worked or how late I stayed back (unpaid), I never felt appreciated or cared for.
They have such an enormous rate of staff turnover, they cannot retain any staff because of the demanding and stressful nature of the company.
Management are not empathetic, and treat hard working staff very poorly. No recognition for effort, no appreciation for the work that goes into ensuring every client gets the best care. 

My job as a Care Coordinator nearly broke me, and I had to leave due to horrible mental health issues. I quit without having another job lined up, and when I handed in my resignation I was met with coldness, rudeness and was sworn at - despite me offering to give an additional weeks’ notice than I was contractually required to.
I would never recommend this as a place for anyone to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
What's great about working for Omnicare is that you get to choose your own hours that fit in with your lifestyle. The reception staff are so welcoming and the care coordinators annd mentors are extremely supportive and helpful and there's a lot of support when needed.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Making sure you leave enough feedback and at times they don't fill shifts that you have lost

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture of the company is very supportive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I generally work between 3 to 5 hours a day at clients homes

Going to work in the morning to a happy face & environment. Working in different clients homes from different cultures & back grounds. Management was easily spoken to on the same level & the door was always open. Working with different co - workers with different clients each day. Meeting new clients & families as it is a blank canvas to learn what they like, dislike & there way of doing things is the hardest part of the job. Watching your client progress to help themselves & the smile on their face when you have made them happy & been the familiar face of their day.

Mostly client are good and some can be so rude that they can make you feel like the most worthless and idiot and dumb person in world. They have lot of work. You have to drive a lot and it can be difficult and confusing, if you are new in this field like me. Moslty shifts are showering and house cleaning. Maybe difficult for some people but i find that easy. Mostly clients are from other cultures and it can be difficult to communicate. Overall, i am happy

This is my first home care job after my Cert III in individual support. It gives me a very smooth transition from being a student to real work experience by supporting me with induction, equipment, handbooks etc. The interview process was pleasant and smooth, and the process was very fast and they reply me responsively. The 2-day induction was very helpful with lots of information. My mentor is also supporting as I can ask her any questions that I’m not sure, and I feel supported along the way. I’m very happy about working with Omni-Care.  

Omnicare have workers all over Melbourne and we could choose the area of our work for example I worked from Craigieburn to Brunswick from Greensborough to Tullamarine. I worked as many hours as possible and really enjoyed working with Omnicare and had the same regular clients for most of the 5 years working there. I only left because I moved out of Melbourne to Werribee where I was unable to get to my regular clients and was unfeasible to continue there

The hardest of the job Travelling 
and most of the job are cleaning
and no one is look at the truth distance of traveling believe me I struggle to go were area that I don't know first I thought I try but went I have accidents and lost almost my points well I can not deal with it
I work with other company for 7 years I never lost one in 3 months with omni I lost 9 points because I don't know the area and and I got only sort time to get there that why ........

On a typical day at work, I feel great and fresh every day. Working without rushing is the best. I believe that I learn something new every day by meeting new and different people. I enjoyed chatting with all of the clients, the hardest part of the job for me was the language barrier but most clients understood and even helped me improve my skills as well.
