This report examines the quality of identification of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients in eight community services data collections, by analysing the extent to which Indigenous status is missing/not stated in each of the data collections. The rates of missing/not stated records are compared, where applicable, to those reported earlier. The report highlights the improvement or otherwise in these rates, and documents data quality improvement activities undertaken in each of the eight community services data collections, both at the national and the jurisdictional level.This report is a useful resource for administrators of programs and researchers with an interest in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients in the community services sector and identification issues.
