Our History

  • 2017 - A New Leaf

    Joseph Musgrave was brought on as the new Managing Director of HCCI and hit the ground running with a complete reorganisation of HCCI. He hired new staff and launched into the political realm with home care driven initiatives that would see massive yield in the years to come.

  • 2018 - Expansion

    After reorganisation HCCI started implementing and advocating for the wants and needs of our members. One such need led to the development of a new department in HCCI, the Garda Vetting Department (GVD).  Our team expanded with the new department and further member driven initiatives.

  • 2020 - Development

    While listening to our members wants and needs, HCCI brought on competent staff to help further the mission of HCCI.  In the development stage we seek to continue to support our members and their home care needs while also informing the relevant bodies of the crises our members face as front-line workers.
