HACC (Home and Community Care)
HACC is short for Home And Community Care program. It is a joint Australian Commonwealth, State and Territory government initiative. The program helps frail old people and people with a disability, who would otherwise be prematurely or inappropriately admitted to residential care, to live independently in their own home. In New South Wales, HACC is administered by the NSW Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care (DADHC).
