Pros
The only positive thing about them is that you may work from home and they allow days off when you're sick.
Cons
I worked in C2C sometimes in 2023, and my experience was disappointing. After coming across a review on facebook that echoed my feelings, I realised I'm not alone in my perspective so I would like to share my experience and feedback regarding my time in C2C, as it has been both challenging and eye-opening. I strongly advise against working at Connect2Care due to the management's lack of integrity. The administrative staff, HM who works with service agreements, have been unhelpful and often shift blame for issues she has not properly communicated. Instead of fostering a supportive environment, she has chosen to report our mistakes to AG rather than address them directly with us. Furthermore, AG seems to take sides without fully investigating the situation, which undermines trust within the team. There’s a clear lack of proper coaching and recognition for employees; mistakes are dwelled upon rather than learned from. Overall, the culture here does not support growth or encouragement.
Pros
Access to weekly PD, but if you have clients you basically can’t join it There are some lovely supervisors, but you have to cherry-pick which ones because there are few You’ll bond with your coworkers over your misery
Cons
I have never felt so disrespected as when I worked for this company. To them, you are literally just another cog in the wheel. Working for this place affected my mental health so severely that I had to get intensive therapy that I couldn’t afford just to keep myself sane. If you speak up about your workload, management will gaslight you and say you’re just poor at time management and that working in the NDIS is hard The induction process was extremely rushed. There is little to no support even if they promise weekly supervision. Admin is virtually useless and will pass their jobs on to you. You are expected to manage admin tasks such as replying to emails, booking interpreters, and booking clients, etc while also planning for sessions and writing reports. This company is extremely dodgy with travel reimbursement. They charge clients for travel but don’t reimburse yours. When a colleague asked about this, we were told that it’s included in our salary. Extremely exploitative of new grads and international OTs who can’t say no.
Pros
Big team, supportive peers, good PD opportunities
Cons
Very KPI focused, need to push for follow ups and performance reviews
