Notes to the Snapshot With BUSHkids’ rapid expansion in 2017-18 and the increased diversity of funding streams, varying data capture and reporting requirements, the statistical landscape looks considerably different to that of previous years’ Annual Reports. For example, BUSHkids’ traditional operational regions increasingly feature co-located service delivery channels from different funders, with the NDIS, particularly, utilising Local Government Areas (LGAs) as the basis for rollout of and reporting on that agency’s services. Reporting requirements from our more established funders have also changed over time, with the Department of Education now requiring reports on sessions and clients up to Year Six (previously only from Prep to Grade Two). Many more BUSHkids clients, too, are participating in more services from our expanding portfolio; taken together, the inevitable outcome of being counted multiple times in separate funding reports making any aggregation in this Snapshot challenging. Individual and group session numbers can still be effectively captured, as shown on this page, with minimal duplications therein. Within BUSHbase and across our clinical teams, additional work has been done to improve our recording of individual clients, including providing dedicated admin support to selected Centres to enable therapists to focus on their service delivery. Of note is that BUSHbase is no longer our single data collection point: with the rollout of BUSHkids’ NDIS Partner in the Community services, significant additional data is now available to BUSHkids at the various interfaces with that agency’s own specific reporting requirements.
