I am wondering what Leisure and Lifestyle staff are paid an hour, also whether you work in private or Goverment facilities. I am working in the Private Sector and am paid just on $20 per hour. Cheers M

The pay rates vary depending on whether or not supervision of staff is required. Non supervisory 18$ an hour and supervisory is about 19-20$ an hour. Private

Hi Deirdre, my current pay rate is $18.84 an hr. We had EBA (work placement agreement) to go into place sometime this year. If we are lucky enough we might be paid over the magical $19 something an hr. We were told we should be grateful for this increase.
I have recently started my new position of Lifestyle Coordinator working with elders. I decided to join Golden Carers membership for activity ideas and chat forums. It has been the most wonderful experience and helped me immensely with the endless ideas and activities, I especially like the monthly Calander templates. It is an invaluable resource!
