Home and Community Care (HACC) service providers across Victoria will share in a federal and state jointly funded $5.4m funding boost to help tackle climate change and extreme weather conditions. The extra funding will help older Victorians to install water recycling, water saving devices, low emission temperature control measures and related home maintenance. Queensland will receive almost $51m in extra HACC funding, with 230 organisations to share in the money, jointly funded by federal and state governments. Almost $7 million of the extra funding has been allocated for minor and major home modifications to help older people live at home without the need for residential care.
