Preface
The Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing (the department) has a suite of documents (the Program Guidelines) which provide the framework for the implementation and administration of funding processes under the Commonwealth HACC Program (the program). The Program Guidelines provide the key starting point for potential applicants considering whether to participate in the program and form the basis for the business relationship between the department and any funding recipient.The key components of the Program Guidelines are:
Section one: The program which provides an overview of the Commonwealth HACC Program and the activities that may be funded under the program.
Section two: Making an application for funding under the program includes information on the different types of funding processes that may be run under the program and how to apply.
Section three: General information for applicants provides information on the terms and conditions applying to applicants, including late applications, checks that the department will undertake on applicants and complaints processes.
Section four: Selection criteria which sets out in detail the full set of eligibility and assessment criteria for any funding process under the program.
Section five: Selection procedures details how an application will be assessed, including against value for money, how applications will be ranked, and the process for advising of outcomes.
Attachments which detail each activity, including relevant eligibility criteria, and the assessment criteria that may be waived for each activity.
The Program Guidelines should be read in conjunction with the application kit (including application form) for the relevant funding process.
The department reserves the right to amend this document and the Commonwealth HACC Program Manual from time to time by whatever means it may determine in its absolute discretion and will provide reasonable notice of these amendments.
