Victorian Home & Community Care (HACC) Program Manual February 2003 including HACC fees policy and HACC unit prices

As of the 2007-08 financial year the schedule of fees and HACC unit prices will be updated annually. The unit prices will be updated in September to be effective from 1 July. The fees and income ranges will be updated in January and be effective as of January 1 of each year. This brings us in line with the updating of the Centrelink figures for income ranges which come into effect as of January 1 of each year. As of 1 January 2008, HACC fees will be rounded to the nearest 10 cents to simplify the determination of fees. We have updated the fees and income ranges published on the web to reflect these changes.

HACC fees 2009 and unit prices 2008-09
