Hi everyone. For those of you who don't mind, I was wondering what pay rates other Diversional Therapists have & whether they increase with experience. Myself: nearly 3 years experience; Diploma qualified as DT; work for a 'for profit' organisation in residential aged care facility; have full DT responsibility for 42 bed facility and earn $19.02/hr. No pay rise in past or for the future. NB: this is NOT a criticism/complaint - just curiosity! I would appreciate your reply. Thank you everyone.
Thank you so much for this site I use this every month, I do a flyer of what's on each month for my facility and use all the wonderful ideas, quizzes, trivia and craft. It makes my job so much easier.
