HACC
The Home and Community Care (HACC) Program is a national service program that aims to provide basic, long-term services for frail older people, younger people with disabilities and the carers of both of these groups, so they can live safely and appropriately in the community in their own homes, rather than institutions, like nursing homes or hostels.
The HACC Program came into existence through the Home and Community Care (HACC) Act, 1985 and is funded in each State by the Commonwealth and State/Territory governments. In NSW, HACC is administered by the Ageing, Disability and Home Care Department.
