REMINDER: Please complete 2012 Australian Community Sector Survey

A reminder that the Australian Community Sector Survey is NOW OPEN (http://acoss.org.au/take_action/australian_community_sector_survey_2012/)
to 30 April 2012. We hope that you will help to ensure that the Survey provides the best possible information about our sector and the people that we work with.

This annual survey is the only regular source of information about the community services sector, by the community sector. It is a key advocacy tool in highlighting unmet demand for services and key challenges facing organisations trying to address them. It is used widely by policy makers and researchers. Completion of the survey requires:
. Information about client numbers and profile in key services for the 2009/10 and 2010/11 years as well as turnaway rates;
. Financial data for the last two years;
. Staffing information for the last two years.

If it is easier to complete the survey off line, you can download a copy here. (http://acoss.org.au/images/uploads/Survey_print_version_final.pdf)

Please, if you have not yet filled in the survey, do so as soon as possible!

Each survey completed will go in the draw to win free registration to ACOSS' 2013 conference, a prize worth around $650!

Yours sincerely

CEO, Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS)
