Funds for HACC services

Government funding will pay for a new vehicle and trailer, new office equipment and new refrigeration for the Peninsula's Home and Community Care (HACC) services.

The money will go to Woy Woy Meals on Wheels and the Gosford Home Modification and Maintenance services, which operate from premises near the Peninsula Community Centre.

Funding of $76,991 for the Central Coast was part of a $3.32 million boost for Home and Community Care (HACC) services across New South Wales.

"The additional one-off HACC funds will be used to improve services in a number of areas including buying new equipment and improved staff training," said NSW Minister for Ageing and Disability Services, Ms Carmel Tebbutt.

HACC is a joint State-Commonwealth initiative that provides services to assist more than 120,000 frail aged people and people with a disability to live independently in their local communities.
