2. About the funding round2.1 BackgroundAs of 1 July 2012 the Australian Government through the Commonwealth HACC program, took on full funding and program responsibility for support services for people 65 years and over (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 years and over) that were previously delivered through the Home and Community Care (HACC) program in all states and territories, excluding Western Australia and Victoria.

The Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines provide an overview of the arrangements for the allocation of funding for the Commonwealth HACC program from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2015. The relevant sections of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines are referenced throughout the application pack to indicate where applicants can find additional information about the program.

2.2 Objectives of the Commonwealth HACC programThe objectives of the Commonwealth HACC program are to:

provide a comprehensive, coordinated and integrated range of basic maintenance, support and care services for frail older people and their carers;

support these people to be more independent at home and in the community, thereby enhancing their quality of life and/or preventing their admission to long term residential care; and

provide flexible, timely services that respond to the needs of these people.

Basic maintenance, support and care services can be described as those which contribute to a person’s well-being. The Commonwealth HACC program operates within a regional framework to respond to the needs of clients and help achieve equitable access to Commonwealth HACC services. The Program encourages flexible service delivery and local responsiveness to meet the needs of individuals and regions.

2.3 Funding ProcessThe Department of Health and Ageing (the department) is conducting an open competitive process, the 2013 Commonwealth HACC funding round, to allocate growth funding of up to $281.2 million to provide Commonwealth HACC services in early 2014 to June 2015.

This funding is predominantly for Commonwealth HACC services types identified as priorities in each region. Service types are defined in section 1.6.1 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines. Regional priority service types are at Appendix A of this ITA.

This funding process is a competitive process and is open to all eligible organisations, including those that do not currently receive Commonwealth HACC funding. The department encourages applications from all prospective service providers who can meet the requirements set out in this ITA


and the Commonwealth HACC Program Manual. Applications will be assessed against the selection criteria described in this ITA and the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines.

The Commonwealth HACC program funds service types at the region level. More information about Commonwealth HACC regions can be found at section 3.4 and Appendix G of the Commonwealth HACC Program Manual. Applications are invited from service providers who can deliver services across whole Commonwealth HACC regions or to parts of a region.

2.4 What is the funding available for?Funding is available for the Commonwealth HACC service types as defined in 1.6.1 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines. Funding will be directed to successful applicants for services identified as regional priorities (Appendix A). Approximately 85 per cent of recurrent funding will be directed to these priorities nationally.

The department has undertaken a planning process to identify five regional priority service types for each of the 33 Commonwealth HACC regions in Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, South Australia and the Northern Territory. These priorities have been determined using data from a range of sources including information on the spread of Commonwealth funded community care services and information collected from key stakeholders across the community care sector.

Funding is also available for other Commonwealth HACC service types that are not identified as a regional priority service type. However, applicants will need to demonstrate in the application the need for the service type in the region. Approximately 15 per cent of the recurrent funding will be directed to service types not identified as regional priorities.

Applicants are also able to apply for a limited amount of one-off funding for set-up costs relating to the establishment of new service delivery activities; systems and operational support; capacity building and assets where these costs relate directly to the delivery of new services. Further information about these costs can be found at section C.1.1 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines.

Applicants can identify if the proposed service will target one or more of the special needs groups. The special needs groups are listed in Appendix B.

Funding for service delivery will be offered to successful applicants from the date of offer until 30 June 2015. Funding for set-up costs will only be offered for the 2013-14 financial year.

2.5 What will NOT be funded?Funding is not available through this round for:

services for people under the age of 65 or under 50 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

capital activities as defined in section 1.6.4 and Attachment D of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines

service system development activities as defined in section 1.6.2 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines


further funding for outputs already contracted under the Commonwealth HACC program where this does not result in additional service delivery

services to be delivered in Western Australia and Victoria.

2.6 Who can apply for funding?All organisations who can meet the requirements set out in this ITA are encouraged to apply. Applicants do not have to be located in the state or region that they are applying for funding, for example service providers located in Western Australia or Victoria are invited to apply to deliver services in regions currently covered by the Commonwealth HACC program.

Applicants are eligible to apply for funding if they are an incorporated entity. For more information refer to section 4.2.1 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines. An incorporated entity includes:

incorporated associations incorporated cooperatives companies Aboriginal corporations organisations established through a specific piece of Commonwealth or state or territory

legislation trustees on behalf of a trust Australian local governments Australian state or territory governments and their entities

Applicants representing a group of providers are invited to apply. However, the department will not enter into contractual arrangements under the Commonwealth HACC program with a consortium. More information about consortia is in section 1.3.3.1 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines. A lead entity should be identified as the applicant and this entity should submit the application for funding. Applications on behalf of consortia will be assessed against the same criteria as set out in this ITA.

2.7 Responsibilities of applicantsSection 3 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines outlines the responsibilities of applicants applying for funding in funding processes. Applicants are advised to read this section carefully.

Of particular note is that successful applicants will be required to sign a funding agreement with the Commonwealth, represented by the department, before any funding is paid. There are two parts to the funding agreement:

Terms and Conditions for aged care funding March 2012 Program Schedule for Aged Care Funding (the Schedule)

The funding associated with the Schedule will be paid in quarterly instalments.

Successful applicants will have details of their activities posted on the department’s website as part of the department’s legislative reporting obligations.

Successful applicants are responsible to ensure that:

the terms and conditions of the funding agreement are met funding is used and managed in accordance with the funding agreement the delivery of services is effective, efficient and appropriately targeted the highest standards of duty of care are applied


the proposal is delivered in line with, and complies with the requirements as set out within all state and territory and Commonwealth legislation and regulations

they have sufficient insurance in place to cover all of their contractual obligations


3. The Application Process3.1 Timeframes for the application processThe department anticipates that it will recommend successful funding applicants and make offers of funding for service delivery to commence in early 2014. The department will not notify unsuccessful applicants until it has executed the funding agreements with the successful applicants.

3.2 Late applicationsIt is your organisation’s responsibility as the applicant to ensure that the application is submitted in time for it to be received by the department by the closing date and time. Further information on late applications is provided at section 3.1.8 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines.

3.3 Content of applicationsYou are responsible to ensure that your application is completed accurately. You may not alter the substance of your application following its submission without the approval of the department. If a change in circumstances occurs that would prevent your organisation delivering services as described in your application, you should notify the department in writing to the contact officer (at [email protected]).

The department may seek information from you to clarify any aspect of your application, but it is not required to do so.

Applicants must meet compliance and eligibility criteria (see 4.1). Applicants must submit the application in English, failure to do so will result in the department ruling the applicant as non-compliant.

The department will only accept attachments that have been asked for in the application.



4. The Selection Process4.1 Assessment criteriaThe selection criteria and the weightings are set out in section 4 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines. For the purposes of this ITA, applications will be assessed against the following criteria. These criteria and the sub-criteria are referenced in the relevant sections of the application form.

4.1.1 Mandatory criteria

For the purposes of this ITA the compliance criteria and eligibility criteria are mandatory. Applications will be assessed against these criteria and treated as set out in section 5.4 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines.

4.1.2 Assessment criteria

For the purposes of this ITA, applications will be assessed against the following assessment criteria. Applicants are advised to keep within the prescribed word limits identified for each question in the application. Words in excess of the word limits will not be assessed and this may affect the scores against the related criteria.

Assessment criteria 1. Appropriateness of the proposal to the objectives of the activity under the Commonwealth HACC Program1.1 proposal is clearly defined and described, and is evidence-informed1.2 community affected by the proposal is addressed1.3 outcomes for the proposal are clearly described and the proposal includes ongoing assessment of those outcomes

6.1 How the applicant will ensure its long-term financial and organisational viability.Criterion 6.1 has a possible score of 5


4.1.3 Overarching criterion

In assessing each application, the department will also consider the outcomes proposed for the amount of funding sought. This is referred to as a consideration of value for money and is detailed on page 45 and in section 5.6 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines.

Applicants should be aware that, as value for money is an overarching criterion, its assessment can seriously impact the overall outcome of the assessment process for the 2013 Commonwealth HACC funding round.

In considering value for money for this funding round, the department will take into account the five components of this overarching criterion, set out below. The overall score for any proposal will be increased by a factor relevant to each of the components demonstrated by that proposal.

Overarching criterion

Value for money, the efficient and effective use of funding that is consistent with the objectives of the Commonwealth HACC program

1. The relative merit of the proposal.

This component relates to the proposal’s assessment against the assessment criteria.

2. The relative cost of the proposal.

This component relates to the total amount of funding sought for the proposal, and may be inclusive of any set-up costs sought.

3. The geographic location of the proposal.

This component relates to the Australian Statistical Geography Standard, the Australian Standard Geographical Classification or other indicator of the location of the service.

4. Community that will benefit from the proposal has poor access to Commonwealth HACC and/or other aged care services.

This component relates to the extent to which the application demonstrates that the community affected by the proposal has poor access to Commonwealth HACC and/or other aged care services.

5. Community that will benefit from the proposal has high levels, or high anticipated growth, of the target population or of a special needs group.

This component relates to the extent to which the application demonstrates that the community affected by the proposal has high levels, or high anticipated population growth, of the target population or of a special needs group.


4.2 Waivers and non-assessment of criteriaFor the purposes of this ITA two assessment criteria have been waived or partially waived. These waivers are in line with 4.3.1 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines and include:

Criterion 6.2 – independent financial viability assessment. This criterion has been waived for all applications.

Criterion 3 – need for the proposal to be carried out. This criterion has only been waived for applications for regional priority service types (Part Two application form). For applications for service types not identified as regional priorities, this criterion will be addressed in Part Three question 3D.

Criterion 5 will not be assessed for applicants who are not current Commonwealth aged care service providers. This criterion will be treated as set out in section 5.5.2 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines. For the purposes of this ITA, current Commonwealth aged care service providers are those that have a current funding arrangement with the Commonwealth Government, specifically:

as an approved provider under the Aged Care Act 1997 a current funding agreement to deliver services under the Commonwealth HACC program,

National Respite for Carers Program (NRCP), Assistance with Care and Housing for the Aged (ACHA) and Day Therapy Centres (DTCs).

For current Commonwealth aged care service providers, criterion 5 will be assessed using information held by the department relating to the applicants performance under their current Commonwealth aged care funding agreement. The rating scale that will be used is set out in section 4 table 2 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines.

4.3 Assessment ProcessThe assessment process will be managed as set out in section 5 of the Commonwealth HACC Program Guidelines. The department will establish state based assessment panels that will assess applications against the assessment criteria and make recommendations to the First Assistant Secretary, Ageing and Aged Care Division. As the funding approver, the First Assistant Secretary, Ageing and Aged Care Division will consider whether the proposal will make an efficient, effective, ethical and economical use of Australian Government resources, as required by Commonwealth legislation.

Where an application is for a regional priority service type, applicants will be scored against the assessment criteria and ranked against other applications for the same service type in the same region. Where an application is for a service type other than the regional priority service types as set out in Appendix A , applications will be scored against the assessment criteria and ranked against all other applications for non-priority service types in the same state.
