 HACC Program for Younger People

In May 2013, the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments announced an agreement to implement the National Disability Insurance Scheme from July 2016.

As part of this agreement, Governments agreed that management of the HACC Program will be split. Services for older people (people aged 65 and over and 50 and over for Aboriginal people) will be directly funded and managed by the Commonwealth Government.

Services for younger people (people aged under 65 and under 50 for Aboriginal people) will be funded and managed solely by the Victorian Government, until the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is in full operation.

The Commonwealth and Victorian Governments have agreed to work together to retain the benefits of Victoria’s HACC service system.  Department of Health and Human Services, 3 June 2015
