Home and Community Care Program

The Home and Community Care Program (HACC) provides a variety of supports to older people, people with a disability and their carers.  This program is subsidised jointly by the Australian Government and State and Territory Governments.  Clients are also required to make a contribution to the cost of providing the service.

Home and Community Care services are generally provided to people with low to moderate support needs who need a limited number of different service types.  However, some clients with very high support needs do also access the Home and Community Care Program, particularly through case management services.  KinCare is funded for specific service types in each region.

Follow the links in the table below for more information on each service type.  Further details of the specifc regions and target groups can be found by selecting the relevant program.  Not all services and target groups are available in all areas.
