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.
I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
