I am advised that, existing HACC clients who are not eligible for NDIS continue to be provided with their current level of HACC services.
Over the past two years to 30 June 2016, the HACC Regional Assessment Service has identified 63 new people aged under 65 years who made an initial enquiry about the HACC program and were not provided with a HACC service within an NDIS trial site. Of these enquiries, 42 did not meet the HACC eligibility criteria. Of the remaining 21, any requests for short term nursing or allied health support were referred to a HACC provider.
As part of the transition to the NDIS, consideration is being given to the need for HACC type services for people under 65 years not eligible for NDIS.
