SAAP National Data Collection Agency
The Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP) National Data Collection is a nationally consistent information system that combines 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. The 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. All non-government organisations funded under the program are required to participate in the SAAP National Data Collection.
