Home and community care program

HACC services are also available for people who are caring for a frail older person or someone with a disability. You, your doctor, a family member or friend can contact: Commonwealth Carelink Centre to discuss your needs, OR your local HACC services coordinator for an assessment of your needs. For contact details see this page. In order to assess your needs, a person from a HACC agency talks to you about how you are coping with your daily living.

This is used by the HACC agency to decide whether you are eligible for a service and what type of service you need to assist you to remain living at home. Each HACC service has its own policy on fees, but most services ask for a small contribution, depending on your situation. Special consideration is given to people with limited finances.
