More Home and Community Care Funding for the South Burnett
12th November, 2010
Federal Member for Wide Bay, Warren Truss, today welcomed the announcement of $124,519 in enhanced funding for Home and Community Care (HACC) Program providers in the South Burnett.“An additional $124,519 will be paid to HACC providers that operate from Murgon and Cherbourg to help them deliver services throughout the South Burnett,” Mr Truss said.
“HACC funding supports a range of services that enable frail aged people and young people with disabilities to remain in their own homes with the support of their family.
“We know the majority of people prefer to continue living in their own homes for as long as possible, and HACC service providers can give people a higher level of independence, comfort and security.
“This funding will assist these organisations in the delivery of services which maintain and improve the quality of life for older and disabled Australians.”
