They should be defunded! I spent more time with Centerlink fixing up Max's mistakes than ever getting any help from Max! If the Govt wants to save money, they should get rid of such rorting companies like Max!

I was introduced to the Max Employment Agency in Frankston, Victoria - around 2012 and then onto about 2014.
I come from an Australian background that believed in treating people ... especially vulnerable people ... with dignity and respect.
I did not want to be unemployed, but I was.
I was told to go to MEA and I did. There I met with staff who patronised me and others. I saw some silly woman running a workshop proudly hinting that if we were all as clever as she was, we would get a job. I didn’t feel sorry for me having to listen to her c...

By far the most manipulative employment service I have ever dealt with, right from misrepresenting what they can and can't do for a client, up to holding back assistance from clients that they can't turn a profit off, or parking long term unemployed for funding, right up to manipulating Department of Human Services staff to review clients so they can gain more funding increased by repetitive anxiety including eSAT/JCA reviews. Once they have pushed you past the level of funding they can get for you, they exit you from their service. By far the most exploitative JSP I've ever encountered.

Unfortunately ALL job networks are useless. I worked for CES before it was closed down and then worked for a job network organisation. We worked extremely hard for our clients and got many outcomes for them. It was a christian based organisation which had high principles and treated clients with dignity and respect. I don't know how the current job networks are still in business as they seem to do what they like.

Started there for the second time in about September 2022, never saw my case Manager and never signed a job plan, they used an old one and just changed the date. Started working in Jan 2020 doing a temp position and they still expected me to go to appointments even though it was a full time position,I was so disgusted I cancelled my claim with Centrelink as they really made it hard for me.

When I was with the box hill branch from the June of 2017 to the April of 2018 all they did is they gestured me to the computer and expected me to do all the work and the staff sat back and did practically nothing. They said I should be getting paid for the things I'm doing at Cafe salvo in the March of 2018, not knowing who the salvation army is. On what would be my last appointment they said the same thing and if I don't get my employers number then they'll have my payment from centrelink suspended.

They got me off their system without my...

Not helpful, make you feel worthless, threaten to always suspend your payments for trying to work and do not help with work related items and always are passive aggressive towards many clients

Max employment Taylor's lakes are absolutely amazing! They are extremely helpful,supportive and I couldn't of done it without them. They support you looking for work and always get you to where you need to be.

Worked for Max Employment in WA. Colleagues of mine would frequently defraud job plans but would also use statury declarations to frequebtly explain missing money that they claimed had been used for legitimate business purposes. Colleagues were racist and prejudiced towards jobseekers and would speculate neeflessly aboyt their character in the context of their mental health. Perhaps most concerningly is the fact that when I began work there was a pile of jobseekers documents that were half a meter high just sitting in the back. These were not g...

Max Employment Salisbury and Elizabeth SA are the biggest joke I've ever heard. The most disorganized lying I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I am suspect that they are rorting the system for funding saying they are referring people to jobs but they are jobs thy have no hope i hell of getting..Thy lie and they will say and do anything to protect their own butt. My advice is do not deal with Max Employment. Tell Centrelink that you DO NOT want to deal with shady scamming that are rorting the system. Shonky shady that should be run out of town

do not trust max employment they are the worse job agency ever and don't help people.
karen sheppard is the worse consultant ever, rude and nasty english lady who is alot like kim woodburn from big brother uk.

I remember years ago when the government had the CES which had government employees dedicated to help you find employment. How things have changed, now we have these inept organisations such as MAX Employment at Campbelltown which are there solely out of greed. They could care less about the unemployed getting work, they are there to crack the whip and make sure you turn up for their useless appointments so they can collect more money from the government. I feel sorry for the unemployed having to deal with these money grabbing grubs who last year made $55 million dollars while the unemployed have to try to figure out how to survive on $40 a day.

Omhg.... where do I start?
Do I start with the fact they're rude, play favourites, think they're entitled, they lie and do their job in the manner of a child? Or do I start with what the bloody MANAGER of Max Goulburn thought was appropriate this afternoon?

Not only were my payments suspended AFTER THEY TOLD ME my job efforts were to be put in on the 6th of December, not the 24th of this month and my first appointment was with them not even two days prior, so I have no time whatsoever to even start looking. Then the manager(yes the manager) t...

We have employees who are being harassed to attend meetings with this company in their work time at our busiest time of year when we absolutely need them at work. Why? They have a job- which might I say Max Employment / max solutions did not find for them. They have not asked us if this is ok. Not only this but they keep changing the date and time of these so called appointments. We are considering our options now in regard to employment of anyone associated with this entity. We employ people because we need them at work!!!!! I note that this e...

Im happy with the service I am receiving from Max Employment.The team in MOE are ready to assist me in any way they can. I can honestly say that the team at Max Employment,Moe have had a positive impact for me personally in the services they provide.

I was spoken to rudely by a very argumentative member of staff at sutherland max employment during my phone interview, i was new to this service but had met all my requirements. They have absolutely no regards for people's differing circumstances. I am a young person, studying and completing work experience as well as completing assignments and homework deadlines yet willing to put in my effort to seek part time or casual work to support myself during my course. I have received no assistance on improving my job seeking results even though i wa...

I was with Max Employment for several years at Wynnum. Just when I was I developing a rapport with one consultant, they leave and I got shoved off to another person and have to explain my depression and anxiety all over again. Then I got assigned to KATE who I explained about not having morning appointments. She scheduled a morning appointment, when I couldn't make it, she suspended my payment on my BIRTHDAY.

I was called by a Peter Sim (Candidate) for a job (I had not advertised and did not have going). Apparently a David Cormier / Corner referred him to me. I have never dealt with this organisation and never expressed that I wanted any employees. Spoke with 4 different people. No one knew what was going on, including the business service manager who mixed up names and had no clue what was going on (she called me). Worked in recruitment for 2 years before becoming a business owner and I'm astounded at the incompetency especially when dealing with kids that are trying to get employment.

I was at the Campbelltown office for quite a while - Hi [name removed]! They never helped me gain employment, all they do is send people to these useless courses. Honestly in my opinion they are like fleas on a dog. Parasites that take loads of government money when it could be going to raising the Newstart allowance. I bet they do not live on $40 a day. This whole set up is a disgrace orchestrated by the Liberals who are fond of bashing anyone on welfare that cannot get employment. I guess they will never find themselves in my situation, another bunch of blood sucking parasites.

I rang Max Employment Thursday afternoon the 15th of August. I was looking for them to provide a candidate for a picking & packing position I have going at the moment. The woman who took my call initially sounded gruff and annoyed that the phone rang until she realised I was an employer not someone looking for work. Her tone changed immediately. She was then quite helpful and said that the Redcliffe office would call me to discuss further. Today is Wednesday the 21st of August and no one has rung me. No wonder max Employment has such poor reviews. I feel sorry for the unemployed who are relying on this company.

I've been going for the last 8 months. Haven't helped me at all. Basically each appointment goes like this: so what jobs are you looking for? Me: blablabla, them: okay look in the cbd. Come back in a month google work in the meantime. (like I'm not already looking? I do the 20 jobs apps per month, plus extra, idiots)
my next appointment they want to look for work with me on the computer, waste of time and the whole agency is a joke.

What an abuse of tax-payers money! This agency does absolutely nothing to assist people to find employment and they treat their customers with total disdain and ridicule. I was told that as an older Newstart recipient living in a tiny rural town that they would only start to assist me to find a job after 3 months of me making attempts on my own. One day I was asked by one young staff member why didn't I just return to nursing? I haven't been registered or practised for more than 25 years having worked in an office whilst caring for family. I as...

They receive up to $85-$110 per person per appointment, plus $5000 for activities they sign people up for. Any wonder they keep making me weekly appointments, despite I'm supposed to only have monthly appointments? Now their making me attend job searching appointments for 1 hour every week until I find a job, or sign up for work for the dole! They claim its apart of their "new policy". Terrible liars! To add to the irony, they've never once mentioned any jobs they have, or any that would be of interest to me...Has any job network actually helped anyone, besides just force people to sign a paper claiming they got the job, even when they had nothing to do with it?? This is what the Mafia looks like funny enough!

Maxx mildura forced me to apply for work i wasnt able to do. When it didnt work they enforced penaltys making me feel hopeless and suicidal. They have no regard for anyones welfare and only care about ordering flowers and smokos for the office!

GLEN waverley office one word hopeless staff would not listen to me offered nothing just stress my advice don't go the there if you need help you won't get it
