The Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC PYP) supports Victorians from birth to 65 years, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from birth to 50 years if their capacity for independent living is at risk. This may be due to chronic illness, mental health issues, disability or other conditions where they need one-off, intermittent or ongoing support to undertake the activities of daily living.
HACC PYP supports Victorians to optimise their health and wellbeing, while maintaining or regaining their independence to live safely in their homes, and actively participate in their community.
People who are eligible for Home and Community Care (HACC) services can be linked to other organisations for assessment and other supports including but not limited to:
- Shopping assistance
- Community Health Services
- Property Maintenance
- Meals
- Dietetics
- Personal Care
- NDIS
