Ageing & Disability Department

The NSW Ageing & Disability Department (ADD) provides a focus for service delivery to older people and people with disabilities.

ADD is responsible for strategic policy and planning for ageing and disability in all NSW Government sectors. ADD implements the major funding programs and ensures funded programs deliver results in accordance with Government policy.

The NSW Ageing & Disability Department is not a service provider, but it does fund the government and non-government providers who deliver services to older people and those with disabilities.

The NSW Ageing & Disability Department allocates more than $650 million a year through two major programs: -

  • The Home and Community Care Program (HACC) and
  • The Disability Services Program (DSP).

You can find information on all ADD's activities, events, and publications at the New South Wales Ageing & Disability Department Web site at http://www.add.nsw.gov.au/
