    AI summary of recent reviews

    Defence Health is particularly celebrated for its positive workplace culture and supportive colleagues, with many employees forming lasting friendships. The company offers valuable benefits including free premium health insurance and flexible working arrangements. The initial training program is comprehensive, particularly in helping new employees understand the healthcare industry.

    However, employees note some areas for improvement, including the need to enhance management practices and modernise systems and processes. As a smaller organisation, career advancement opportunities can be limited, and some departments face challenges with high workload pressure due to resource constraints.

    Archaic, Unstable & Chaotic Place To Be
    The good thingsMy teammates, fantastic, fun people!
    The challengesI must agree with the previous reviews written. People leave due to bad management, wrong people in senior leadership, system issues never ending, inefficient, disorganised, full of surprises every week you never know what role you will get yourself into, the next thing you know your hours changed, there is poor communication, division, unclear roles & expectations, low wage, they simply do not care about employees, save yourself the mental dilemma, the turn over rate every July read the reviews they all true.

    If you are willing to sacrifice your mental health for free health care then this is the place.
    The good thingsFree health care is a bonus Connecting to members, I've had some lovely conversations with members and they are always understanding. Found some life long friendships
    The challengesThe job is mentally draining. The system doesn't work and no evidence of improvement No connection to Defence community. No support for ex serving employees. It can be quite cliquey Jobs without boarders meaning you will be spread thin and will have extra work added on no notice
