Negative experience: Talking to these people( Management ) Is like a joke. No seems to know anything about their services and that's including the manager, very unprofessional. To be fair to us, costumers, pleaae hire a confident staff with more knowledge about their job. Its frustrated but I just to laughed and I was wondering why they got the job.

Fantastic experience: Burnie Brae is a brilliant community resource. I am attending table tennis this afternoon. Three hours of table tennis for $5. Not bad! There are sooo many activities available and all are reasonably priced. On top of that there is a really good cafe. Everyone over 50 should look on the website and try something out. It's fun and you'll make friends.

Fantastic experience: Burnie Brae Travel Connections: I would like to send out a big bouquet to Nicole Nardini, a travel consultant at Burnie Brae Travel Connections. She was the consultant who booked the major components of a 2020 trip to Europe, sadly cancelled because of the COVID19 crisis. Being a travel agent at this time must not have an abundance of rewards. Throughout the entire booking and subsequent cancellation process, Nicole was cheerful and efficient, demonstrating she had my best interests at heart. Thank you and your company for you service.

Bea Butterfield 5 years ago

Negative experience: This company is totally incompetent with their international communication being nonexistent & staff that are not adequately qualified. Due to both of the latter my regular services often didn't turn up, I had a drunk staff member turn up, a worker that had never pushed a wheelchair before and I fell out while crossing the road, staff that criticised everything I purchased on my weekly shopping days, I had to go back on a 6mth waiting list to see my specialist because know one turned up on the day to take me. I spent $2500 a month with them per month on varied services and this is the standard I received in return, shocking! There are a dozen more small offences, but look there are some great workers although few & far between but because of the lack of organisational skills, communication between rostering & scheduling and communication between staff & team leaders my services where often neglected, leaving me stranded & isolated. I urge anyone to avoid subjecting themselves possibly to what I experienced with potentially worse outcomes (when the worker pushed my wheelchair into a lip on the road and I fell out, someone else could have broken bones, let aloan if the woman who smelt like stale rum and coke had a car crash). Shop elsewhere for supports for yourself, clients, friends or your family members!
