Abbreviations and notes on Terminology The term Koori is used in this report for the indigenous population of Victoria, in line with Victorian Government policy. It was pointed out in the Consultations that there are members of other indigenous peoples living in Victoria, and this total indigenous population is covered in references to the Koori population. A profile of the distribution of the Koori population is given in Part B. The term handicap is used as a technical term to refer to levels of handicap as defined in the ABS Disability, Ageing and Carers Survey. Handicap is synonymous with core activity restriction. For full definitions see Appendix 2. <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Report</strong> July 2001 ii
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS An exercise as extensive as this Review of the Relative Resource Equity Review in the HACC Program can only be undertaken with the cooperation of many different organisations and individuals. The Consultancy Team would like to acknowledge the contribution of all those who participated in the consultations. Attending the consultations in all regions provided us with a first hand view of the diversity of needs to which HACC services have to respond and it was especially heartening to see the value that all participants placed on having a resource allocation formula that was fair and transparent. Our appreciation also goes to the members of the Reference Group who helped us distil the key issues for the Review, and our special thanks go to Ms Patricia Reeve who ably chaired the Reference Group. Our liaison with the provider and consumer groups involved in the HACC Program across the Victoria was facilitated by the efforts of staff of the Department of Human Services. The keen interest of officers of the Aged, Community and Mental Health Division, particularly Jeannine Jacobson, Alexandra Hurley, Jeremy Maddox and Carol Pyke, was evident throughout the Review. Working with these officers and staff from other Divisions and Regional Offices who were members of the Departmental Steering Committee has made the RREF Review very much a joint venture. As leader of the Consultancy consortium, I would like to thank my colleagues for their hard work and team spirit. I am sure that each member of the team would join in thanking the others for the particular contributions they made to the overall task: Liz Lowe and Ro Saxon, from HDG Consulting Group, for the outstanding organisational and presentation skills they brought to the Consultations; Richard Rosewarne and Hugh Sarjeant, for the many hours of critical discussion and review of draft reports, as well as their high level analytic skills; and Diana Droog, for her smooth and efficient management of the Consultancy from beginning to end. Discussions among the members of the consultancy team and with all those involved in the Review prompted a vast range of questions about the RREF and the HACC program more widely. We hope that the answers and options that we have come up with, through consultation with the field, exhaustive analyses of data, and assessment of a variety of other background information, will advance the achievement of the goals of the HACC program in Victoria.
