Home and Community Care Program for Younger People
Eligibility for HACC Program for Younger People services
The Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC PYP) provides services to support younger people with disabilities, and their carers. These services help people live as independently as possible in the community.

Services are targeted to younger people with moderate, severe or profound disabilities and their unpaid carers
