COMPANION CARD

DOOLEYS is happy to be involved in the Companion Card Program which provides people with disabilities easy and fair access to many entertainment, leisure and recreation venues and services.

The Companion Card identifies the cardholder as a person who has a significant permanent disability and is not able to attend activities and events without attendant care support. The card can be presented when booking or purchasing tickets.

Participating (“Affiliate”) businesses, like DOOLEYS, will accept the Companion Card and will issue the cardholder with a second ticket for their companion at no charge.

For further information about this program please visit http://www.nswcompanioncard.org.au

 

EMPLOYEE COMMUNITY LEAVE

DOOLEYS shows a continuing commitment to supporting our local community through the introduction of paid Community Leave for all DOOLEYS employees. The Board and Senior Management team encourage active participation by all DOOLEYS staff in our local community.

All employees are now eligible to take up to four days of additional leave per year to volunteer their time to give back to the local community and help those in need. Any recognised charity or community event is considered a viable option for staff and this only strengthens the Club’s commitment to supporting local community capacity building.
