DSS specific attributes +

Conditional obligation:

In the Specialist Homelessness Services NMDS, this data element is conditional on the client providing consent to release their personal data to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. The data element Client—consent indicator, yes/no code N, must receive a response of Yes (Code 1).

DSS specific information:

 In the Specialist Homelessness Services NMDS, this data element is collected at the date of presentation.

Evidence suggests that the longer persons with mental health problems are supported by specialist homelessness services, the more likely they are to move into public, or community housing or rental housing rather than return to rough sleeping. Access to a range of longer-term supports and community-based services will increase the early intervention and recovery support options for people who are homeless with a mental illness and substance abuse disorders.
