NEPEAN HACC ACCESS PROJECT
The project is auspiced by TRI Community Exchange and receives re-current funding from the Department of Aging, Disability & Home Care (DADHC) under the Home & Community Care (HACC) program. The target group is NESB/CaLD frail older people, people with disabilities, their families and carers living in 3 local government areas (Penrith, Blue Mountains & Hawkesbury) that compose the Nepean Area. The two main objectives of the project are:
To achieve our objectives we provide Training, Resources, Information & Support etc to HACC Service Providers and CALD Communities. Click here to download Nepean HACC Access Project flyer. Resources currently available - click here to download Order Form (Word document) for:
The Nepean HACC Access Project with the support of a working party of local HACC service providers/organizations developed "A Consumer & Carer Handbook" The booklet provides basic information about the Home & Community Care (HACC) program, eligibility, what services are available and how to access them. The booklet is useful for all service providers, health & community workers to leave with their clients during assessments, as it will provide the consumer with information to make informed choices. The booklet has translated versions in Arabic, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Greek. Translations in other languages will be completed as our budget allows. This handbook is free to all HACC services in the Blue Mountains, Penrith & Hawkesbury LGAs. A CD ROM version (includes translations) is available to non-HACC services for $5.50 (inc. GST). Click here to download Table of Contents only (PDF document).
The Profile has been compiled to assist Home & Community Care (HACC) services & HACC-like services in the Nepean area to better understand the community in which they work and to provide them with a tool for planning and targeting their services to people from CALD backgrounds. This profile can help HACC and HACC like services in a number of ways:
Demographic information is only a beginning point and can only ever paint a broad picture of the community. Demographic and other statistical information needs to be complemented with local knowledge and community consultation with ethnic communities. We hope that this profile will also be used by non-HACC organisations which work with or are interested in the needs of older people and people of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. This resouce is available free to all HACC services in the Blue Mountains, Penrith & Hawkesbury LGAs. It is also available for sale, on print ($22.00 inc. GST, limit 1 per organisation) and CD ROM ($5.50 inc. GST). Order form for both above resources: click here to download (Word document).
