State Governments are responsible for collecting data and providing the data to the Commonwealth Government for co-ordination and national monitoring. The major use of service provision data is for needs-based planning as the collection provides an indication of the supply of HACC services to the community. The following tables provide data for most States for the May 1996 through to the May 1998 collections. These collections contain the most accurate available data. Most service types report the number of hours or meals a person receives, except Centre Day Care, which reports person hours.
Transport reports the number of people receiving the service.
