Employment benefits

We offer a wide variety of careers and provide opportunities for employment in a range of locations across all of NSW with many benefits.

Rewards
A career with DADHC allows you the opportunity to make a difference to the quality of someone’s life.  Competitive rates of pay and superannuation are also on offer along with:

  • Flexibility
    DADHC will help to establish a good work-life balance that works for you.
  • Security
    Working in DADHC means you are offered the security provided by a government position. 
  • Variety
    Supporting older people or people with a disability is rewarding, as  well as challenging and no two days are ever the same. But you will be trained and supported to manage the range of work required.
  • Long-term career path
    We offer you the experience and freedom to grow your career while making your mark within a highly reputable organisation. We hire our people with a view to retaining and motivating them for the long-term.
  • Learning and development
    We actively encourage and support you to complete training and courses relevant to your position.
  • Teamwork
    Join a team of more than 13,000 professionals providing care and support to people living in their own homes, community-based homes, our supported accommodation or large residential centres.

Employment conditions
Most of our staff are covered by an appropriate state Award or agreement. While the conditions and rates of pay will vary dependent on the position you apply for, and the Award that you are covered by, the conditions will generally include provisions for penalty rates for shift work, overtime, rostered days off or flex time and allowances.

Essential information for NSW Government applicants
People who work for the NSW Government are not just doing a job - they are representing the Government. They are expected to behave ethically and correctly when carrying out their duties and in dealing with the public and fellow employees.

For this reason, DADHC employees need to understand and apply core common values and behaviours required of all public sector employees, as outlined through these public sector policies which are on the NSW Equal Opportunity web site:

Values
Our values guide our behaviour toward each other, clients, services and other agencies and form the basis of all business relationships, decisions and actions. Read more about our values
