Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)
The Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC PYP) supports Victorian 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.
HACC PYP supports people to optimise their health and wellbeing, while maintaining or regaining their independence to live safely in their homes, and actively participate in their community.
HACC Younger People Program
This program is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members under 50 years of age who have a disability.
The program offers a range of home-based and community-based services such as domestic assistance, personal care, respite care, transportation, home modifications, and social support.
The HACC PYP is designed to help eligible individuals to live independently in their home and support their carers who may also need a break from caring responsibilities.
NDIS Advocacy Program
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Advocacy Program is designed to provide support for people with disability. The program helps people to understand their rights, make informed decisions, and have their needs and preferences heard and respected during the planning and implementation of their NDIS plan.
The program aims to promote the full participation and inclusion of people with a disability in all aspects of life.
