The New South Wales Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care (DADHC) is a department of the Government of New South Wales with responsibility for provision of government services to the elderly and the disabled.
The Department supports more than 1 million NSW residents from its annual budget of $1.4 billion. It employs more than 12,000 staff - second only to the Department of Education and Training.
Structure
The Department reports to New South Wales Minister for Ageing and Disability Services Peter Primrose. The head of the Department is its Chief Executive, Jim Moore.
The Department has five divisions[1]:
- Accommodation and Respite - runs the State Government's respite centres and group homes;
- Community Access - runs day programs to assist the disabled, including social and work education, assistance with independent living and behavioural management;
- Home Care - runs programs to help the aged and the disabled to continue to live independently in their own homes, and an Attendant Care Program to provide basic in-home support;
- Office of Ageing - gives policy advice on service delivery needs as a result of an ageing population; and
- Service Development and Planning - liases with stakeholder groups and the administration of the Department itself.
Ancillary functions
The Department also funds the NSW Disability Council and the Guardianship Tribunal. These are statutory authorities which report directly to the Minister and are not subject to DADHC direction.
