We are a relatively small not-for-profit organisation and opportunities for available roles are limited.

DGC employs approximately 50 full-time equivalent staff. The majority of DGC staff are based at the head office at Broadbeach, Queensland and at our Visitor Information Centres located in both Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta Airport, Queensland.
