Is VDHG the right choice for long term passive intesting?

Hi Community!

Happy new year! and first of all thanks heaps for having such great resources available for all of us.

Q1) I am starting my journey of passive investing in Australia with ETFs and wanted to ask if VDHG would be the right choice for long term investing. I noticed this was mentioned quite a lot in the podcast. Does VDHG ETF provide dividends?

Q2) I have started with Stake but as Stake doesnt provide auto investing option on their platform, does it make sense that I manually purchase the same ETF each month?

Thanks a lot for your advice.
