We’re officially a Great Place To Work®!

DCOH has been recognised as a Great Place To Work® for the second consecutive year, reaffirming the strength of its workplace culture through independent employee feedback.

DCOH is officially a Great Place to Work

“Achieving Great Place To Work® Certification for a second consecutive year is something we’re incredibly proud of because it comes directly from the feedback of our people” said Managing Director and CEO Shane Dignan.

Chief People Officer, Emily Nyamdorj, said the recognition was particularly meaningful because it reflected the experiences and perspectives of our employees. “The results show strong pride in the work we do and the relationships we have across our teams. Just as importantly, the feedback also helps shape where we focus next as we continue Building Better for our people and our business.”

Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture. Its Trust Index™ survey measures employees’ experience across five key areas: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie, providing insight into the relationships between employees and their leaders, their work and their teams.

This year, 87% of respondents said that, taking everything into account, DCOH is a great place to work, supporting the company’s recertification.

For almost 40 years, DCOH has invested in Northern Australia through development, construction, operations, hospitality and long-term asset ownership. With headquarters in Darwin, DCOH has gone from strength to strength with the recent expansion into Melbourne’s construction industry. As well as delivering award-winning infrastructure projects across Defence, civic and health sectors, the family-owned business proudly invests in large-scale residential communities, commercial buildings and prime hospitality assets.

Minister tours uni accommodation construction site

Construction is well underway on 352 new purpose-built student accommodation beds in the heart of Darwin’s CBD, with DCOH’s project management team recently touring Minister for Resources and Northern Australia Madeleine King MP and Federal member for Solomon, Luke Gosling OAM MP through the construction site.

DCOH was appointed to build the 14-storey, 352-bed facility for Campus Living Villages (CLV) to accommodate Charles Darwin University (CDU) students, providing more housing options for students close to where they study.

The development will include a mix of studio and six-bedroom apartments, along with study areas, communal facilities and shared spaces designed to foster connection and support student life.

Mr Gosling said education was a big part of Darwin’s future.

‘We want more students choosing to study and build their lives here. Students from across the Territory, Australia and around the world bring so much to our city, our community and our economy,’ said Mr Gosling. ‘The project is part of an around $70 million Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) loan to CLV to deliver more than 400 additional purpose-built student accommodation beds across CDU’s Darwin campuses.’

Senior Project Manager Frank Bagala said DCOH was proud to bring the much-needed student accommodation project to life in collaboration with the stakeholders.

“DCOH has been building and investing in the Territory for almost 40 years, and it’s great to see NAIF’s support in continuing to play a key role in funding and developing Northern Australia.”


Construction of the new CBD student accommodation is scheduled for completion in late 2028.
