Background of Service.
The Home and Community Care (HACC) programme was a Commonwealth Initiative commenced in 1985. This is a means of intergrating a range of services for people who are frail aged, younger disabled and the carers of those people to facilitate the client to remain living in their own homes for as long as possible.
The HACC programme is a State/Territory and Federally funded project, and the "Tumut and Talbingo Community Transport" is a sub-programme of HACC.
This programme is currently administered through the NSW Transport & Infrastructure, and is auspiced by the Tumut Shire Council.
The area we are funded to service is the Tumut Shire.
There is also funding from the NSW State Health Department to help assist the general community access Health Professionals.
We also have funding from the NSW Transport & Infrastructure which covers transport for the Community of Brungle. This is known as CTP funding (Community Transport Funding), which addresses the Isolation of this Community. (Brungle)
Statement
We provide transport for people in our Community, who are frail aged, people who have a disability, and for their carer's!
We provide this service so that they may keep medical appointments, go shopping, and for recreational trips.
One of our aims is to assist people to remain living in their own homes, for as long as possible!
We also address the needs of those people who are isolated, and transport disadvantaged - in conjunction with our H.A.C.C clients -
We use our Wheel-chair modified - 10 seater VW Bus, our 6 seater Mercedes 'Vito', our Nissan Tiida, our Toyota 'Hi-Ace', and our Mazda Station Wagon.
We have one full time driver, but it is the Volunteers who do the majority of the driving for the 900+ trips per year!
Wonderful people from our Community who donate their time, so that the needs of the Local Community, are met and achieved.
Many of these trips are to Wagga Wagga, Canberra, Albury, and of course Local trips as well.
Over 100,000 kilometers each year!
