HACC Response Program
The HACC Program provides funding for services which support frail
older people, younger people with disabilities and their carers. These
services provide basic support and maintenance to people living at home
and whose capacity for independent living is at risk, or who are at
risk of premature or inappropriate admission to long-term residential
care.
The HACC program is funded jointly by the Australian and Victorian governments under the HACC amending agreement of 1998.
In each Department of Human Services region, funds are allocated for a
regional training strategy to address the training priorities of HACC
staff in the region. Funds are also allocated for a HACC Regional
Training Coordinator (HACC RTC) position to develop and implement the
training strategy. In the Grampians Region that position is based at
Ballarat District Nursing & Healthcare Inc and has been funded
since 2002.
