Pros

Participants Advocating change in mental health

Cons

While claiming to support community wellbeing, they undermine it through chronic understaffing, unchecked misconduct, and a culture of retaliation. Staff are not held accountable for poor work standards, toxic behaviours, or service delivery failures that directly harm participants’ mental health. Concerns about unsafe or incompetent workers are silenced, and those who speak up are punished instead of supported. Management ignores operational risks, buries reports, and prioritise appearances over participant safety. The service is part of stigma the mental health sector is meant to fight, masking dysfunction behind Medicare funding and Wellways branding. If you value your own mental health, look elsewhere: leaders here will not protect you, nor will they model the values they preach. What this organisation portrays to funders and the public is not the reality lived by staff or participants. It is a system in decline, perpetuating stigma, and failing the very people it claims to serve.

Pros

There are a small group of people wanting to see genuine change and dedicated to the participants

Cons

I have never in my professional career experienced such demoralising, unprofessional, isolating, toxic bullying behaviour in a workplace. Senior Management run a friendship zone, with bullying tactics and wolf pack mentality of choosing people they like based on their personal lives and not for their competency in the role or contributions to the sector, client or organisation. Senior Management are not open to change, benefiting the business. It is a clique culture, where you are in or you're out. No orientation or induction, first questions on the job included which country was I born in, what is my nationality as opposed to questions about my skill set and how i could contribute to the organisation and a discussion about my role.

Pros

The other staff are sympathetic to what you have to deal with

Cons

I was bullied by my manager, submitted a complaint and nothing was done. I worked there for 4 weeks. Wellways are now lying on legal documents. Claiming that I was not bullied. I was touched inappropriately by that manager and reported it, and apparently that didn't happen, even though there were several witnesses. Do not work for this company.
