The Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC PYP) supports Victorians from birth to 65 years, and 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 where they need one-off, intermittent or ongoing support to undertake the activities of daily living.
HACC PYP supports Victorians to optimise their health and wellbeing, while maintaining or regaining their independence to live safely in their homes, and actively participate in their community.
The HACC PYP is funded and managed by the Victorian Department of Health.
Services are delivered through:
- local councils
- health services, including registered community health services
- Aboriginal community-controlled organisations
- ethno-specific and multicultural organisations
- a range of other non-government community organisations.
Accessing HACC PYP
Consumers needing support can access HACC PYP directly through approximately 260 providers located across Victoria.
If you are unsure what HACC PYP providers are available for the supports you need, a HACC PYP Assessment provider is a great place to start.
A HACC PYP Assessment provider will gain a broad understanding of your needs to assist you to live at home as independently as possible. The Assessment provider will assist you to access a local HACC PYP provider delivering the activities matched to your support needs and goals.
A HACC PYP Provider directory, which includes assessment proviers for each local government area, and the activities they deliver, is available in the document linked below. The document includes all contact details for each provider.
Providers are listed by local government area. If you need to find your local government area you can search on Find your local .
You can also contact the program area at the Department of Health via email at HACC-PYP@health.vic.gov.au
The HACC PYP provider directory is update on a quarterly basis.
