14th October, 2009
Federal Member for Wide Bay, Warren Truss, today welcomed the announcement of a funding boost for Home and Community Care (HACC) Program providers in Maryborough."HACC services enable frail aged people and young people with disabilities to remain in their own homes with the support of their family," Mr Truss said.
"We know the majority of people prefer to continue living in their own homes, and HACC services can provide people with that option and give them a higher level of independence.”
