Home & Community Care Program

The Home and Community Care (HACC) Program office in Wilcannia coordinates government-funded community support services for elderly and disabled residents in this remote far-western NSW town on the Darling River. Wilcannia has a predominantly Aboriginal population and significant socioeconomic disadvantage, and the HACC programme provides critical domestic assistance, personal care, meals, and transport to help frail older residents remain in their community. This is a service coordination office, not a residential aged care facility, serving one of Australia's most remote and disadvantaged communities.
