Pathways to non-complex assistive technology for HACC clients in WA : full report
Layton, Natasha, Wilson, Erin and Andrews, Alex 2014, Pathways to non-complex assistive technology for HACC clients in WA : full report, Independent Living Centre of WA Inc., Perth, WA.
The project aims to identify, evaluate and make recommendations to improve the pathways by which West Australian (WA) Home and Community Care (HACC) clients access daily living equipment. Otherwise known as assistive technology (AT), these devices are largely non-complex and often low cost. Funded by HACC and conducted within the context of the WA Assessment Framework (WAAF), the project seeks to answer the following question:
How can aids and equipment be most effectively assessed, accessed, funded and used? The research is designed to inform WA state government policy and Commonwealth HACC government policy in relation to the funding of HACC client access to assistive technology. Whilst set in WA, the topic and findings have relevance to HACC in other Australian states and territories, as well as other aspects of aged care policy, other sectors such as disability, and other areas of inquiry such as competency standards and consumer self-direction.
