ADSSI Limited operates from four sites – at Tuggerah on the Central Coast and Maitland, Beresfield, and Dungog in the Hunter. We are a $30M not for profit organisation that provides practical in-home support that promotes choice, lifestyle and independence.

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.

The retirement of two Directors and the increasing focus on clinical expertise necessitates the recruitment of several experienced Non-Executive Directors – from both the Hunter and the Central Coast. The option of payment for time/expenses incurred in preparing for and attending Board meetings is available.
