NORTEC - Lismore

Absolutely shocking and rude!! Not helpful at all. Avoid Anne at all costs!

I feel like they're doing the best they can. Finding work shouldn't be as difficult as what it is, and the low success rates really says more about the state of Australia's unemployment situation than anything else.I think what alot of people don't get is that they won't help you unless you ask for it. How can they know that you want to do training if you don't ask for it? How will they know that you need new clothes if you don't tell them so?I still haven't found steady work, but I don't think that it's from a lack of trying on Nortec's part.

No I don't recommend nortec in Lismore to anyone they don't deserve 1 star, they have false advertisement, and they have triggered my anxiety and depression & they dont help.

Nortec suddenly decided to close down our long term office space a few weeks before Christmas. They closed the whole complex, with every single business being evicted with little more than a months notice, and right over the Christmas New-Year break. This is the one time of year that hard working business owners get a chance to take a well deserved break. Not this year! And also finding suitable office space over Christmas, and with such short notice was really difficult.The complex was poorly managed and advertised, and our feedback completely ignored. Absolutely impossible to talk to anyone who has any authority despite several attempts. Super frustrating.Now that they’ve evicted all their long term tenants, the new owners will have to try and find new tenants, and will likely sit vacant for a long, long time.What a nightmare!The one exception was Gary, who did his best to look after us throughout, even though he didn’t have the authority to change anything.

Time wasting, not helpful whatsoever. Thanks to Nortec Ballina I am now homeless and unemployed. Thank you Nortec for such a good helping hand in life! Pathetic.

Worst job provider I've ever had to deal with, pride them selves on being professional? Hard to contact and very rude when it comes to helping. I would advise anybody that is going to be with the LISMORE service not to expect much, I'm now back on anti depression medication.Thanks NORTEC Lismore, keep up the great work!!!

Most useless company that can not deliver what they promise. I got my own job without assistance within 1 week of moving to the area, they offered $200 a month of resources to get to and from work (predominately fuel vouchers) I only asked for $20 a month to get me by as I know other people may need these resources more than I. Then they can't even deliver that. I only wanted 1/10th of what they offer and I still can not get it. There is maybe only one or two people in this office who actually care for people and their wellbeing. Other than that it's just a job that they can't do! They need to be put through their own system so they know how it feels. I have now cancelled all forms of government benefit as I can luckily support myself (and no longer have an unemployed partner who I also had to support) and now no longer have to deal with the 'assistance' that nortec delivers, that is actually more of an annoyance. I have worked in this industry myself before when I was 19 and could do their job better in my sleep. Useless.

Poor service, I've been calling for a week but noone can be bothered to return a phone call. I gave 1 star because none isn't a option

I have had an excellent experience at Nortec. Sonya was very encouraging, an excellent listener, warm and highlighted my strengths. Sonya referred me to suitable work. When a new job didn't work out, Sonya and Toni were again, encouraging and assisted me to 'keep going'. Toni is positive, an excellent listener and her bright, warm smile is a welcome sight. Kylie has always been friendly and helpful, going 'above and beyond' by calling my mobile to inform me that my USB had been left in the office. Excellent helpfulness and care.Now Dion offers constructive, directive assistance, even more encouragement and a really warm positive attitude. Thank you team, what a great job you are all doing to support jobseekers into work.

I've been with NORTEC Lismore for a few months now, and although I haven't gained employment as yet, my experience has been all positive. Dealt with two of the staff there, both have been helpful and considerate, there's been good communication and they've provided job leads. My main problem is I spent 23 years in a very niche job, as a Technical Specialist, so in order to improve my chances, I would probably need to move to a capital city.Still, I'm very happy with how they've helped with preparing a resume. After 23 years in the same job, I'm very out of practice with applying for jobs.
