STEPS Training delivers the Home and Community Care (HACC) program, a national program funded by the Australian and State/Territory governments.
The HACC Program aims to enhance the quality of life for frail older people, younger people with disabilities and their carers. The program funds a range of basic services designed to enhance independence and quality of life. It aims to prevent inappropriate or premature admission into long-term residential care.
Training delivery for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander HACC workers in the Northern Territory will fit under an overarching national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community care workforce strategy, which the Department of Health and Ageing is developing in consultation with the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander HACC Reference Group.
