The collection will also seek to improve and incorporate data from crisis and transitional accommodation services. Before the new homelessness data collection is operational and ready to be used for COAG reporting, AIHW and ABS will, under the guidance of HHIMG and in collaboration with other experts, put in place a development plan to further improve the interim proxy measure for the next two CRC reporting rounds. Suggestions have also been made on reviewing the methodology of the Counting the Homeless reports which will include a review of the three-tier homelessness categorisation and definition of homelessness. The review will be conducted under the guidance of HHIMG and in collaboration with FaHCSIA, AIHW, ABS and subject matter experts. |
