Our primary purpose is to make a difference in the lives of people in our community, particularly the frail aged, people living with disabilities and dementia, their carers and others who may be disadvantaged who wish to live at home safely. ADSSI has offices in Tuggerah (AiHS) and Maitland (MCCS). The company is referred to collectively as ADSSI.

We acknowledge Aboriginal peoples as Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respects to the Elders, past, present and future, and recognise the continuing connection and contribution to this land. ADSSI embraces Aboriginal values: Community, helping and respectful care of our elders.

ADSSI has an effective Pride in Health + Wellbeing Working Group and is active in the LGBTIQ community. We are proud of our participation, beginning in 2019, in ACON’s Australian Workplace Equality Index, the Health + Wellbeing Equality Index, and the Australian Workplace Equality Index Employee Survey. Look for our results on the ACON website.

We are looking for people with a growth mindset coupled with a solution-focused style and approach, excellent interpersonal skills, empathy and high emotional intelligence. We will regard highly your strong work ethic, integrity and customer service focus.

The 2018 staff survey, undertaken through the Voice Project, had a 93% response rate. The Passion and Engagement score (the positive attitudes and emotions that contribute to employee retention and productivity) is outstanding at 93%. This is 13% higher than the aged care benchmark. The Progress score (staff perceptions about organisational performance) is significantly higher than the aged care benchmark: at 92% it is 18% higher than the benchmark. ADSSI has a strong approach from the staff to the Board that communication and follow through are our keys to high engagement levels and commitment to Vision, Purpose and Values.
