Pros

None. Job looks good on paper, but that's where it ends.

Cons

Would have given zero stars if possible. Toxic, bullying, micromanaging culture in Notifications from top to bottom. I experienced bullying, racism and sexual harassment while there. One KPI - file closures. Almost impossible to achieve because of the absurd systems processes and management culture. Not surprising they're getting so much negative coverage in the news.

We appreciate any feedback which assists us improving the employee experience. Ahpra is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for everyone. Everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.

In recognition of this, our new Respect @ Ahpra Framework which has been under development for some months will open for consultation with our team members in early March, seeking feedback to help us ensure our policies and programs clearly define what behaviours are and aren’t tolerated, and clearer pathways for escalation and resolution of inappropriate workplace behaviours.

Pros

Met some good people while working here and a few teams are genuinely supportive.

Cons

The culture is toxic and pretty frustrating, especially around recruitment and internal opportunities. It often feels like decisions aren’t consistent or based on merit. Even when you take on feedback from interviews, the outcome doesn’t always reflect that, which makes it hard to understand what’s actually required to progress. There’s a strong sense that who you know matters more than performance, which impacts morale and trust across teams.
