Ageing & Disability ServicesLast modified: June 25, 2009 - 10:09 AM
Home and Community Care (HACC)Eight Home and Community Care (HACC) Services for frail, older people, people with a disability and their carers are under the auspices of Great Lakes Council. The HACC Program is jointly funded through the Federal Government (60%) and State Government (40%) and administered by the NSW Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care (DADHC). The HACC Program funds a range of services that assist and support frail, older people and people with a disability to continue living at home and accessing their community as independently as possible, thereby preventing inappropriate or premature placement into residential care. The HACC Program also funds services that support carers in their caring role. Many of the HACC Services rely on dedicated volunteers to provide assistance and support to clients and their carers. The following eight HACC Services are under the auspices of Great Lakes Council:
