HACC Program Guidelines
The National Program Guidelines for the HACC Program set out the parameters for the national operation of the Program. They are intended to guide the Program and all those involved in it.
The Guidelines have been written to reach a wide readership of Service Providers, consumers, HACC administrators, and other interested groups.
The Guidelines give an outline of the direction and priorities of the Program.
The 2007 edition of the HACC National Program guidelines reflects the changes to administration and business processes arising from the 2007 HACC Review Agreement.
