Comments

Guide for use:

Agency workers may select multiple support services to meet the identified needs of the client.

Comments:

This information can be used to show the range of support services that agencies provide, and whether the needs of clients can be met either through direct service provision at the agency or through referrals to other services. This is important information for service and program planning.

An unmet need is indicated where, a client has been identified as needing a support service, but the support has not been provided directly by the agency, and there has been no referral arranged to another service in order to receive services that cannot be provided by the agency.
