To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful and reverent that is to triumph over old age.

- Amos Bronson Alcott

Home and Community Care (HACC) 1300 785 415

A HACC program is appropriate for people who have basic to low level care needs.

A Regional Assessment Service (RAS) assessment is required to access HACC support. RAS Assessors help those eligible, and their carers, to determine what care will best meet the needs of people requiring low level support with everyday tasks.

Home Care PackageProvides a coordinated package of services tailored to meet specific care needs when people are no longer able to manage at home with basic support.

Home Care Packages use a Consumer Directed Care approach (CDC) giving people the opportunity to decide what services they get and how they are provided with the allocated funds.

An Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) will assess the level of care needed. Talk to your doctor or local hospital for a referral to an ACAT.

Respite Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Centre 1800 052 222

Respite funding is designed specifically to give the carer a break from the caring role, for carers who have been caring for someone for 6 months or more. • In home Respite
