WDEA Works Ballarat

I spoke to Mark today about trying to get back into the workforce after being a stay at home mum for 4 years. He was absolutely amazing! So kind to go out of his way to offer me some great advice and support when no one else would!

Pathetic, they don't put you forward for jobs that suit. They ONLY match a person with jobs that don't 9/10x. They refuse to pay for anything that will give you an advantage in finding work, taxi's, clothes, busses, medication, ect. Please don't get stuck here like I once did CENTRECARE is the best in ballarat, after switching found a SUITABLE job within 2 weeks I was employed full time. Hope this review helps. Stay away

Me I didn't have much to do because of my age but house share friend did wdea they don't have the training for someone who suffers mental health issues very disappointing it's very hard to deal with I know and to be bullyed by a so called senior executive not on they are there to help now she's to scared to go there well that's really helping someone I look forward to next visit to meeting this person

I have been with other disability service providers - WDEA Works has been the best. Within a couple of days of joining them they were setting up job interviews appropriate to my skills and experience. They listen to you and don't treat you like a number. They actually help you and respect you instead of just talking about it.

I see Tana here every fortnight. She is a very kind and helpful woman and is genuinely interested in my progress. Excellent service and I was able to get a job quickly with her assistance.

It's a mixed bag. The staff are generally interested in helping you. One of the staff members was more interested sticking with his mate at a business I was working at than helping me through a sticky situation (who knows what he really thought of me then). Also be ready to be caught off guard when you are comfortable with one of your case workers, to be put on to someone else without any notice. Just remember they want to keep you on the books because it makes them money. I'd say shop around if you feel like it's not working for you and meeting your needs, especially if you are disrespected.

Pathetic team that do not do anything in a hurry.. promised more jobs then ppl to put in em to lure me into the program.. I should've stayed with the other mob.. DO NOT USE THIS DISABILITY JOB NETWORK.

been with other places years ago. WDEA is by far my best experience.Ciane is so hardworking and has always been so supportive of my employment journey. Past and present. Has always made sure I was being treated fairly and has looked out for me in every way possible. Never left me feeling alone. Ciane goes over and above in her job. 10/10 from me always.

Awful! I was with them 2 years. They don't care about you. The first work for the dole placement they put me in had seriously injured 3 people prior to me, including a slipped disk and a broken hand. I made 4 when they nearly tore the muscles off my shoulders! I was told after the fact by locals about how the placement was a death trap and the other injuries under WEDA's supervision". I spent 2 months in recovery

Horrible services, They just don't look for appropriate work for job seekers, I requested assistance to improve my skills and chances of gaining a career in my chosen field and after being advised they would assist with some costs I went ahead and enrolled in a full time course, After doing so They told me NO! we will not help you because the course is not job related ( ARE YOU @!$#&% KIDDING ME!!) I enrolled in the course to improve employment opportunities and its not job related ??? my advice to any job seekers if you plan on getting help to find work DO NOT seek assistance here as you will not get it.WDEA are only money hungry people using anger creating employment blockers.Truly disgusted with the joke that is WDEA.
