Disability support services 2005–06 - national data on services provided under the Commonwealth State/Territory Disability Agreement

Abstract

This report presents information on disability services collected from over 9,000 service outlets throughout Australia, which are funded under an agreement between the Australian and state/territory governments. These services aim to improve the quality of life of people with disability by providing support and assistance across a range of life activities. The report profiles the people with disability who use the services, the types of services they use and the supports they need (including information on their informal carers). Most information presented in this report is derived from the 2005&ndash;06 Commonwealth State/Territory Disability Agreement National Minimum Data Set (CSTDA NMDS) collection.<br /
