What’s it like working at Windana?
AI summary of recent reviews
Employees find the work at Windana deeply rewarding, particularly working with clients and residents who demonstrate remarkable strength and commitment. Staff appreciate the supportive team culture, opportunities for professional growth, and the values-driven approach that allows them to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. The work offers both personal fulfilment and professional development in a compassionate environment.
However, there are some areas for development, including management practices and leadership approaches, with feedback about communication and transparency. The organisation has experienced periods of change, including a merger, which required adjustment. Some staff noted that budget constraints can impact resources, and improved consistency in processes across teams would enhance service delivery.

Apr 2026Melbourne VIC 300010 to 11 years in the role, former employee
Terrible. I wouldnt send my dog to work there.
The good thingsThe client work. Some good clinicians.
The challengesExtremely poor management from top to bottom. Teams are weak as professional hardworking staff have been driven out by insecure team leaders. Safety issues rife. Constantly changing systems and high staff turnover. Terrible practice and laziness from some clinicians just left unchallenged. I wouldn't recommend working there, using it as a client, or funding it tbh.
