What’s It Like at MLEA?

As passionate as we are about helping our clients, we are equally as passionate about ensuring the personal and professional fulfilment of all our team members. From your first day at MLEA you will see that work-life balance takes precedence here. We understand the cognitive and emotional fatigue that can come with allied-health work and as such, we actively practice wellness strategies at both team and individual levels.

We discourage overtime and encourage self-care and all things wellness - whatever that looks like for you. Need to finish early to make that gym class? Go for it. Need to work from home to support family? Of course. Need to swap days to make that dance performance? Absolutely - can we come?! As a team, we participate in stress-down days (wear-your-pyjamas-to-work days), charity events and community activities (e.g. Bridge to Brisbane, Walk for Awareness), and enjoy regular social events together throughout the year. Our annual Christmas in July party is a staff favourite (yes that’s 2 Christmas parties each year). We are all each other’s biggest supporters in everything we do.
