Overview
The Supported Accommodation
Assistance Program (SAAP) National Data Collection was established in July
1996 to provide information necessary to assist in the planning, monitoring and
evaluation of the SAAP program.
The
National Data Collection is a nationally consistent information system combining information from SAAP
agencies and State/Territory and Commonwealth funding departments. The
Australian Institute of Health and Welfare fulfils the role of the National Data
Collection Agency (NDCA) and manages the collection. All
non-government organisations funded under the program are required to
participate in the SAAP National Data Collection.
