MAX Narre Warren – Employment | Health | Learning

Marleen you are one of a kind! There is only ONE staff member at Fountain Gate who cares. The rest couldn't care less if you were maimed and dead, and would keep breaching and cutting you off until they received the death certificate. Absolutely disgusting that out of them all only ONE person uses their eyes and brain to actually see the person they're SUPPOSED to be helping. Thank you Marleen, without you there Ruma would become even more of a self centred holier then thou power tripping young woman, she obviously hasn't had much life experience. And EVERY time she books in appointment after appointment at the times she knows it can't be adhered to. Eventually there will be enough complaints to have her fired.

HATE MAX EMPLOYMENT!!I was with a employment worker that I liked before he moved on to another job; before I got handed to the one I have now.Roma; she hasn't helped me find a job that I'm interested in and only offers ones that I don't not want to get into. The point of being a worker there should be to help people find jobs in the industries that they are interested and not just places that have an opening.They don't ask when you're free to come into an appointment; they do it themselves and expect you to be there. It's a horrible place to be, they all think that they're above you. They just bully and threaten you into doing something by threatening to take away your Centrelink. They're also very impatient and slow to see people. They usually sit at their desks and talk to others or they go off into the staff room for coffee and don't come out for ages.If you're looking for a job agency to go with, stay clear of max employment unless you like to get bullied

Honestly the worst provider I've had don't care for those with mental health problems and the fact that their office is terribly hard to locate especially for those with anxiety. Need to do better for those who are struggling I don't know how many times I've tried telling them.

My experience with max employment, has not been enjoyable...every time they called it was a different person.... Everytime they would send me a reminder, that I have an appointment the next day . The appointment was on Monday at 10:30 am eg .but they never sent me an appointment in the first place. They only sent a reminders. Not to mention the person's name, I asked to speake to here manager and she told me she was the manager ... Which turns out it wasn't the true... Emotionally I wasn't in a good place... I felt helpless . I'm an elderly person and there is no support.... I'm close to retirement age they think they have the power weather you get your Centrelink payment or not.... I know they need to make there K P I.But you also have to have compassion.

Was a client of theirs a year or so ago, and they were totally unaccommodating of my mental health issues and would not let me have my appointments over the phone. Since then, I have been with a different provider who *would* let me have my appointments over the phone - revolutionary. Now I'm at the point where Centrelink has changed my provider back to Max Employment, against my will, without notifying me first, and I have already hit a wall of issues with them. I needed to reschedule my appointment yesterday as I was caught unaware suddenly that this appointment wasn't with my usual provider, over the phone, as usual...but instead in-person, which I am unable to do due to aforementioned mental health conditions. Tried to explain to the lady over the phone, who tried to get through to Narre Warren office and was unable to do so. I sent an e-mail to the Narre Warren office about this, before my appointment time, and have not yet received a reply. I have, however, received a notification from Centrelink that my payment is about to be suspended. I have called again today, to try to fix this situation, and again the lady has not been able to get through to the Narre Warren office. I have also sent another e-mail. I will not be held accountable and lose my payments because incompetent people are hired in place of those who genuinely would love a job. Fix your service.

Made me come in 4 times and week and laughed in my face.Didn't offer me support.Roma made me feel uncomfortable and was rude to me every time i attended.

Never go here!After joining max's ,Went through set up etc.Explained & acknowleged by Max's that to go any further i needed a new disability assessment (waiting on centrelink)Max's continued to make useless appointments (as nothing could be further done until assessment).Which auto cancel centrelink payment each time if not attended even when i gavepre-notice /call .I am still recovering financially years later due to them and wouldAdvise anyone in need to avoid this placeAs they have managed to destroy my life due to lack of communication and professionalism

Wouldn't recommend MAX employment to anyone. They will provide you with a window of time in which they are supposed to call, but will call outside of that time anyway; feels incredibly unprofessional, and disrespectful. I initially spoke with a man - who, when I communicated my concern for this with - very quickly became rude and condescending towards me. When I spoke with a second lady, and asked if she could put me in contact with someone that I could make a complaint to, she refused, and when I asked for assistance in switching to a new provider (something they SHOULD be able to help me with) I was told that I would have to contact Centrelink personally. Although my experience with them has been quite short-lived, it has all been rather stressful and aggravating. Would give 0 stars if I could.

Honestly would not recommend going here. The appointments that they give you are ridiculously early, and they don't consult you about the times for appointments. Unless you like to attend 10am appointments to sit and job search for an hour 3 times a week; I would recommend going here. Also, if you want to study later on, best to get a transfer because they won't pay for your schooling from anywhere else besides the RTO's they're contracted with. I had them disapprove of the course I wanted to do until I enrolled anyway and paid the class off myself, that's when they asked me again what course I was doing and it was only then that they approved after I paid for it myself. I would recommend any other job agency except this one. They're all about the money, they won't bother to help you with the things you actually want to do

Writing for Pakenham Max as there is nowhere else to leave a review. The staff are nice enough and very helpful, however one thing I noticed is that they book you in for pointless appointments which I found to be highly inconvenient. I told one of the staff members that I was moving to a new place an hour away and she said Centrelink would then relocate me to another employment provider closer to my new home (which was great) but then she went ahead and booked me in for an appointment with them again anyway? So I go into this next appointment, and I speak to another girl and once again she booked me in for ANOTHER appointment with them in a months time? Luckily I did just land a job but if I didn't I would have had to do a two hour round trip for an appointment. That's insane and not helpful at all! I couldn't understand the logic behind it and I figured by the end of it, that she wasn't really listening to me nor did she care how much of an inconvenience that would be for me and not helpful in regards to finding work at all.I also found my new work OUTSIDE of their help and their Max platform. If you're looking for work and you end up with these guys, trust me don't use their platform and don't take what they say too seriously. They are polite and somewhat nice but they're not really there to help you.
