The library lends to managers and coordinators of HACC services, direct care workers, nurses, allied health professionals and therapists.

How to borrow
Becoming a registered borrower is as simple as faxing/emailing to the Librarian the Borrower Registration Form (Word, 29 kB). (The form can be emailed or faxed to you on request).
When you wish to borrow a particular resource, fill in the Request for Resource form (Word, 31 kB) and fax/email it to the Librarian at (07) 3630 5285. (This form can also be emailed or faxed to you).
Conditions of borrowing
Borrowers should not attempt to repair damage but should include an explanation of the nature and cause of the damage. All video/films must be rewound after screening.
Late return of resources disadvantages other service providers. Please return all items by the due date. If item is not returned by the due date and that item is required urgently by another borrower then the defaulting borrower will incur the cost of a courier delivering the item from the first borrower to the second wherever they may reside in the State.
Resource assistance
Specialised resource assistance is available from the Unit’s Librarian who is able to match the appropriate resource to your service delivery or management problem. The Librarian is familiar with all the resources in the collection and on the HACC web-site and will provide on-the-spot advice to help you. If a suitable resource is not in the collection or available electronically on the HACC web site she will give you expert advice on alternative sources of information.
