DCP is also the highest paying state government employer of Social Workers, with those working in child protection receiving an additional 4 percent allowance under the new Enterprise Agreement. This means greater take-home pay, alongside excellent benefits, relocation assistance, and strong career pathways.
Our workforce is broad and diverse. In addition to Social Workers and Allied Health Professionals, we recruit Child & Youth Workers and corporate staff. If you are relocating with a family member on a work visa, you may be eligible for opportunities even without a degree.
