Collection and usage attributes | |||||
| Guide for use: | As this data element is a measure of time (in hours) of services directly received by clients it will not accrue to give a total of assistance provided on an agency or organisation (in terms of money, time or quantity of goods or services). Therefore it should not be used for National Accounts reporting. | ||||
| Collection methods: | Where clients receive support in a group setting the hours received in this setting for all attending service users should be reported (i.e. agencies should not apportion group hours across the number of clients attending). For example, where one worker is supplying services to 3 clients for 4 hours, each client should be counted as receiving 4 hours of service. Hours received during sleepover duties should be included in the total hours received by the client. | ||||

| Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | Community Services (retired), Superseded 14/12/2008 DSS specific information: This data element must be collected twice within the CSTDA NMDS. 1. The number of hours of support received by a service user for a service type for the week preceding the end of the reporting period (the 7-day reference week);and 2. The number of hours of support received by a service user for a service type for a typical 7-day week. The total hours reported should be rounded up to the nearest whole hour. Where less than one hour was received, agencies may record ‘900’. Note: The concept of a typical week may not apply to some service users. In these cases service type outlets may calculate this data element as an average of the actual hours received by the service user over the reporting period. This item may be collected in one of two ways:
If a service type outlet is funded to provide service type 2.06 Case management, local coordination and development, the following rules apply for calculating Hours of assistance:
If a service type outlet sub-contracts the provision of part or all of a service type (other than 2.06) it is funded to provide to another agency, then it is responsible for providing relevant details about the sub-contracted activity (e.g. in-home accommodation support provider sub-contracting the provision of some in-home accommodation support to another agency, which may or may not be CSTDA-funded). Hours of assistance received that are sub-contracted to another agency should be included by the service type outlet that has done the sub-contracting, and should not be reported by the agency that has been sub-contracted (to deliver the services) by the service type outlet.
