Positive energy - Disability Support Worker Melba Employee Review

I love working at Melba because it’s a genuinely human rights–based organisation, where dignity and respect guide everything we do. It’s also an incredibly supportive place to work, with teams who care about each other and are committed to making a difference every day.

More consistent communication and streamlined processes would help staff feel even better supported.

None really. There are far better disability providers. I'm off to go work at one myself now.

Totally chaotic. Management do not care about human beings at all--vulnerable people with disabilities are shuffled from house to house on a whim, their needs are ignored while they are forced to do things they don't want to do because it's "policy", with the bare minimum provided as they're always penny-pinching while their execs drive around in Porches. They used to have a lot of good staff that came over from DHS when Melba took over, but they have mostly been driven away by the contemptuous treatment they received from the company. Now it's just a procession of casual staffers staying a few months and moving on, and the clients are all in a state of high anxiety as a result. Just a nightmarish, chaotic company to work for.
