Who covers Endeavour Foundation workers — award or agreement?

Endeavour Foundation is a Queensland-headquartered national disability services provider running supported employment (Australian Disability Enterprises), NDIS support services, accommodation and community participation programs. Its workforce is more evenly split between men and women than most social-services employers, reflecting its supported employment and disability support roles alongside office and program staff.

Endeavour Foundation's support roles are covered by the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010 (SCHADS), where pay depends on the stream, level and pay point you're classified at. Endeavour Foundation has a registered enterprise agreement (listed below where our corpus holds it); wherever it applies, it must leave employees better off overall than these award figures.

The federal awards relevant to Endeavour Foundation roles:

  • Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010 (MA000100)

Workforce snapshot. In its 2024-25 report to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, Endeavour Foundation Limited declared 4,605 employees across 3 reporting entities — 9.5% casual and 53.3% women. Source: WGEA 2025 Public Data File, data.gov.au (CC-BY 3.0 AU).

SCHADS pay is a matrix — where to find your rate

The SCHADS award pays by stream (social and community services, home care, disability, crisis accommodation), then classification level, then pay point — so there is no single "disability support worker rate". Our SCHADS pay rates page carries the full current pay-point matrix, verified against the Fair Work Commission's pay database, plus the sleepover, broken-shift and minimum-engagement rules that decide most disability pay disputes.

The Endeavour Foundation enterprise agreements

Enterprise agreements set rates above the award, with their own classification structures and allowances. Current Endeavour Foundation agreements in our corpus (1 in total):

We don't reproduce agreement dollar figures here — the agreement covering your site, state and stream is the document to read. Find your agreement, then your classification, then your pay point, and compare it with your payslip. The award tables on this page are the floor every one of these agreements must beat.

Common disability support pay issues at Endeavour Foundation

The patterns worth checking on a Endeavour Foundation payslip:

  • Wrong SCHADS level or pay point for qualifications and years of service.
  • Sleepover and active-night shifts paid as if they were the same thing.
  • Broken shifts without the allowance, and travel between clients unpaid.
  • Minimum engagements ignored on short support shifts.

What to do if your pay looks wrong

Match your payslip to your classification in the agreement (or the award tables above), and price any gap with our back-pay calculator. Raise it in writing with payroll or your manager first — most underpayments are fixed at that step. Unresolved, the Fair Work Ombudsman (13 13 94) recovers underpayments at no cost, up to six years back, and your union can run the claim for you. Not sure which instrument covers you? Ask our AI advisor with your role and location.
