Home and Community Care Program for Young People

The Home and Community Care Program helps you access the support you need to optimise your health and wellbeing, while maintaining or regaining your independence and remain active in the community.

Home and Community Care can provide support for you to remain independent. Services are integrated so care can be tailored to meet your needs and changing circumstances.
