C02. Clients by Priority Group (percentage)

Overview

Previously known as: CC2 ClientDemo by Percentile

Purpose: This report shows the demographic breakdown of clients who have been identified to be in Priority groups (defined by the NPA). The Total Clients column is shown as a number while the columns are displayed in percentages. Some Priority Group columns are further broken down into sub-categories, and these %’s across the entire Priority Group should add up to 100%. Columns without sub-categories show a % figure in comparison to the Total Clients.
 
This report is identical to C01 except instead of numbers of clients C02 shows % of the Total Clients. 

This reporting on percentages shows the distribution of vulnerable clients, allowing one to see at a glance if these prioritised groups of clients are receiving most assistance compared to other groups that are considered less vulnerable. For example, most CLCs should aspire to see higher percentages in Nil or Low Income columns and lower in Medium or High Income.

Columns Show:

  • High priority client groups identified by the National Partnership Agreement, then further breakdown of those columns for applicable criteria such as gender, age, income, etc. 

Rows show:

  • The centre name and percentages of each criterion. Typically your centre or lots or centres determined by the catchment chosen. 

Report Type: Standard

The following should be considered when analysing this report

Notes

  • This report counts percentages of unique clients assisted in a selected date range.
  • Priority groups are identified by various fields in CLASS. Some of these are on the Client record, e.g. date of birth and Indigenous status, and some of these are on the Service record, e.g. family violence indicator and disability status. 
  • Where a field is on the Service page, and the Client has more than one service relevant to the period, the report counts where any of these services meets the criteria. For example: Jo has had three Legal Advices in the same reporting period, and on 1 of those Legal Advices it is recorded that Jo was homeless. On the other 2 Legal Advices, Jo was not homeless. This report will count 1 client in the Homelessness Indicator.
  • Geographic data, i.e. Rural, Regional and Remote, is not yet included in the report. It will be added as soon as possible, and will be based on client primary address details.
  • Selecting “Yes” for Homeless indicator only captures data that is mapped to the response “Yes.” Report will not include responses that are mapped to “Unknown” or “At risk of.”
  • The option “negative income” is not shown as part of income level, which means the percentages added up in the yellow box will be less than 100% if there is an entry with “negative income” in the reporting period.
  • The column, “People Who are Culturally or Linguistically Diverse,” may also be less than 100% as neither of the sub-column options (Yes, Interpreter / Translator Required & Main Language Spoken At Home Not English) would be applicable to clients whose first language is English.
  • Priority Group sub-categories may also not always total exactly100% due to rounding up or down.
