Abstract: This paper examines the current Australian home and community care system, particularly the Home and Community Care Program (HACC). It briefly traces its development, particularly since 1985. The system that currently exists is described along with the major issues that it confronts. The changes that have been recently proposed by the Australian government for the system and the reactions of key stakeholder groups to these proposed changes are examined. In doing so, it attempts to develop some lessons for Canada that policy makers and other stakeholders may wish to consider as Canada begins to develop a national home care program.
