ABSTRACT
This paper reports on an evaluation of the Taxi Subsidy Scheme for the Disabled (TSSD). The evaluation focused on members of the TSSD in terms of their eligibility for Home and Community Care (HACC) Program Services. Using a probability sample in the Brisbane metropolitan area, the project found evidence that at least 79 per cent of TSSD members (under the relevant category) were entitled to such membership, as they also fulfil the requirements prescribed under the Home and Community Care Act 1985. However, the evaluation also found evidence that current utilisation of HACC Program Services does not truly reflect the need for these services within the community.
