Name change for government funding body

November 12th, 2009

Lifestart’s major government funding body has been the NSW Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care (DADHC). On 1 July 2009 a departmental restucture in state government established the Department of Human Services as a division of Government Service, which removed all branches from DADHC and adding them to this newly created department. The full name of the new agency is ‘Ageing, Disability and Home Care, Department of Human Services NSW’ (ADHC).  This new name change will not affect Lifestart’s current relationship with ADHC.
