Home and Community Care (HACC) Services

Home and Community Care Services are government funded services that support frail older people, or people with disabilities, so that they can live in their own homes and communities rather having to move into a nursing home or hostel.

HACC Services also assist those who care for frail older people, or people with disabilities, at home.
