Community Assessment Project

Welcome to the web site for the
AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITY CARE ASSESSMENT (ACCNA)
and
CARER ELIGIBILITY AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CENA)
Field Trials 2006

The ACCNA aimed to provide a nationally consistent approach to client assessment at the entry point to services across all community care programs.

The CENA aimed to provide consistent eligibility and needs assessment across the NRCP and also for the assessment of carers in Home and Community Care (HACC) programs.

The CHSD presentation provides more information about the background to, aims of and the development of the ACCNA and the CENA.

The field trial of the ACCNA and CENA is now complete.

Final reports have been written for both projects and are now in the process of being considered by the Department of Health and Ageing and the Reference Groups.

The CHSD wishes to thank all those who participated and gave freely of their time and ideas.

The Department has sent out its thank you letter and the accompanying Fact Sheet gives a good sense of what we found. They are included here to help us say thanks as well.
