Family Support Specialist
Jul 2026Brisbane QLD 40001 to 2 years in the role, former employee
Culturally unsafe, unsupportive of staff wellbeing, and poorly led by senior management.
The good thingsMeaningful client work, rewarding frontline practice, and a supportive, collaborative team culture.
The challengesCulturally unsafe workplace where staff concerns were not addressed appropriately. P&C team provided little meaningful support, particularly regarding staff wellbeing and workplace issues. Senior management was disconnected from the realities of frontline work, resulting in poor communication, low morale, and a lack of trust.

Not a great place to work
The good thingsEnjoyed supporting clients and making a meaningful impact. The type of work is very rewarding. The pay level was okay.
The challengesLack of clear, consistent and Transparent communication from management. Management and people and culture very unhelpful if you have any issues you need support with. Unfair treatment of staff with favouritism of some staff. Lack of professional development opportunities offered.
