Linkages Program

The HACC-PYP Linkages program is available to Victorians aged under 65, or under 50 for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people, who have complex care needs and would benefit from case management support.

People may be eligible if they require assistance with daily activities due to physical and/or psychosocial functional impairment related to disability, chronic illness or short-term health needs. This assistance might include personal care, dressing, preparing meals, house cleaning, property maintenance, community access, or using public transport.

Care Connect manages HACC-PYP Linkages packages in the inner and outer Eastern and Western metropolitan regions of Victoria.

A dedicated Linkages case manager will access a range of supports based on a persons goals, aspirations and needs, to improve or maintain their capacity to remain living independently at home, and in the community. This may include services such as: 

• links to supports, services and activities within your community
• help in applying for the NDIS and preparing for an NDIS planning meeting
• domestic help
• personal care
• nursing
• Allied Health (podiatry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy,  speech pathology and more)
• respite and transport services provided by volunteers
