Regis Corporation

During our work placement period we assist staffs in giving care to residents in the facility. We worked hand in hand with the staffs to assist the residents in their activities of daily living like showering, changing clothes, toileting and feeding the residents who cannot do by themselves.We also do bed making and perform other tasks to meet the residents individual needs.The staffs in the facility were very nice and so easy to approach with, and all the times they are willing to teach and assist us whenever we encounter difficulties in doing our work. The management does well, staffs has no complaints on how they run the facility.As for me the hardest part of my job was on paper works because we did not have enough time to familiarize with the documentation procedures.Personal Care Assistant is a very rewarding and self fulfilling job because we are helping other people.

If you like to work, then this is definitely the place for you. There is always plenty of hours, if not available straight away, then you can guarantee that no day off is without a call to try and cover sick staff. If you wanted to (and if they were allowed to), they would gladly let you work every single day. Because no one wants to cover sick staff, as they are overworked themselves and just want some sweet and difficult to guarantee, unless you become 'unreliable' (even if you have never taken time off and always show up on time), time off. 

The work itself is physically demanding and very repetitive. They give huge workloads that are expected to be completed in short amount of time and to a perfect high standard. While I understand it, their expectations are unrealistic for the short amount of time we are given to work and I know of plenty of co-workers who come in earlier than they should just so they can get everything done.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Work colleagues and residents. Work was enjoyable

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Work load. Lack of support by management. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Disappointing. A lot of employees got away with doing very little. Others had to pick up the slack. Very clicky with some of the emloyees

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Residents were the highlight of the day. 
Workload was ridiculous. 
Management paid plenty of lip service but next to no support

Have completed several training courses within Regis, including, Managing restraints, Safe feeding techniques, Manual handling, Evacuation, Respect and responsibilities, customer service, Documentation and record keeping. This has been a great experience for me and found the residents and all staff wonderful to work with. Feedback from here is extremely favourable. Would love to stay on full time, unfortunately there are no positions available at the moment. Have started certificate IV in leisure and lifestyle.

I had a very disappointing experience working at Regis.
The workplace culture felt toxic and unsupportive. Staff morale was low, communication from management was poor, and concerns raised by employees were often ignored.
Workloads were heavy and staffing levels frequently inadequate, which impacted both staff wellbeing and quality of care.
I hope management reflects on feedback and makes meaningful improvements for both employees and residents.

Some of the managers are very good but some treats you like you are a child.
The General Manager is very good I hope some of the managers will follow suit!
she is such a great example! She push me on thinking new ideas to help the clients and I am glad she did as I didn't know I had it in me!

Even though I did not have my placement at Regis for a long time, I learned a lot from staff, residents, my facilitator and other students who were doing their placements there. I am very grateful to all of them for the lessons they have taught me and I hope to be able to carry them on during my whole career.

Typical day at work was great and had lots to learn.
I learned how to handle elders and what is all required to help them have fun throughout the day. Had excellent co-workers who were every helpful and they helped me throughout my training. The most enjoyable part was looking after the elders as the became very dear to me.

Very nice place to work, its pretty, looks smaller than what it actually is. Overall, I loved my stay while i was there but it seemed like other staff members were taking on too many hours, especially the EN's and RN's because there isn't that many of them to go around.

Regis, where I did ny 120hrs in my placement, quite enjoy getting to know the residents and staff, learned alot there, they helped me while I was there. I enjoy feeding them and just helping them, but so hard to say goodbye when I finish my placement.
