What is HACC-PYP?
These services support younger 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. These can include:
Community Care Services: Supports include domestic assistance, personal care and respite, property maintenance such as repairs and gardening and minor home modifications to assist people managing mobility issues to move safely about the house.
Meals: Both home delivered meals or in community settings provide a nutritious, appetising and culturally-appropriate main meal.
Eligibility for HACC-PYP
- 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.
