The Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care (DADHC) is one of the largest human services organisations in NSW.
Over 12,000 staff provide support and services to more than one million older people, people with a disability, their families and carers.
In 2004-05 DADHC’s annual budget was $1.4 billion, a turnover recently boosted by the announcement of Stronger Together, a 10-year plan for disability services which added a further $1.3 billion to the budget over the next five years.
DADHC’s corporate history is relatively new. Established in April 2001, it is the amalgamation of the former Ageing and Disability Department, the Home Care Service of NSW, and Disability Services from the Department of Community Services.
