Five years since DoorDash set its roots in Australia, our journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. With the expansion into New Zealand, our commitment to fostering a community where Dashers are heard, valued, and empowered continues to strengthen across Australia and New Zealand. The Dasher Community Council (DCC) stands as a testament to this commitment, evolving with each year to include a wider range of perspectives and ideas.
DCC ANZ members are not only customer-focused, driven and passionate but are also a strong representation of the rich geographic, cultural, and experiential diversity of who you are.

The Dasher Community Council (DCC) is a representative and diverse group of Dashers that provides feedback to DoorDash on important Dasher topics like app functionality, new features, and a broad range of other issues affecting Dashers. Since launching in 2021, the DCC has acted as a sounding board for ideas, ensured ongoing engagement in the Dasher community, and helped brainstorm solutions to common Dasher challenges. The DCC operates at the national level in the United States, Canada, Australia & New Zealand.
Every half year, we invite applications from Dashers across ANZ to join the DCC.
The Dasher Community Council meets every month with key members from the DoorDash team to discuss specific topics or anything that's top of mind. Members of the DCC are awarded Top Dasher status for life and their role is to give their opinion of new features or programs that the DoorDash team is working on. Lately, the DCC has been pivotal in improving the overall quality of our platform in order to provide Dashers and Customers with the best experience possible.
