Preface
This publication contains statistical tables and charts in relation to Northern Territory and is intended to supplement the Series 12 (2006–07) annual national report on the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP) National Data Collection (AIHW 2008). The first national report, containing 1996–97 data, was published in December 1997. The reports provide information on people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless.
A productive and cooperative partnership has continued between the SAAP National Data Collection Agency (managed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare), SAAP agencies and the SAAP Information Subcommittee. Valuable support and encouragement have been provided by the SAAP Coordination and Development Committee, which is responsible for the national direction of SAAP.
This partnership has been built on shared goals and mutual trust. The key has been agencies’ willingness to collect and provide data to the National Data Collection Agency, knowing that any personal information provided by clients is protected by the extremely strict confidentiality provisions of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Act 1987.
This large and complex project has not only a high level of support but also a high level of accuracy. We are confident that we can further improve the quality of the information provided to help policy makers and the community better understand and provide for the needs of people who are homeless or at risk of being so.

This report was prepared by Felicity Murdoch, Simon Edwards and Joseph Hogan of the SAAP National Data Collection Agency (NDCA) at the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). All staff at the NDCA have contributed to this report—without the efforts of Anne Aisbett, Richard Tuttle, Stirling Lewis, Michael Navaratnam, Neil Angel, Lynda Carney, Phil Denman, Anne Giovanetti, Melita Kunstelj, Claire Lahiff, Dianne Oglesby, Joan Reid, Toni Stepniak, Tom Watson and Katrina Williams this report would not have been possible.
Justin Griffin, Heather Logie and the SAAP Information Subcommittee provided helpful comments on the draft report. Cecilia Burke and Peter Nolan provided assistance in preparing the report for publication.
Finally, the vital role played by data providers is acknowledged. This report draws together a large amount of statistical material and could not have been produced without the efforts and cooperation of SAAP service providers and clients, who provided service and client information, and of the Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) and the Northern Territory Department of Health and Community Services, which provided administrative data.

1	Introduction
This publication is one of eight state and territory supplements that accompany the Series 12 (2006–07) annual national report on the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP) National Data Collection (AIHW 2008). The annual report provides an overview of assistance given to clients of agencies funded through SAAP. 
The tables and charts included in this supplement are generally similar to those in the national report but relate to the Northern Territory only. Information to aid readers in interpreting the tables is given in Appendix 2 of the national report (AIHW 2008). Included in that appendix are:
•	an overview of the Client Collection and its data
•	general notes to tables
•	an explanation of the weighting system used to adjust the data for agency non-participation and client non-consent
•	counting rules and glossary terms used in the tables
•	a guide to interpreting the tables. In particular, two example tables with explanatory notes demonstrate how to interpret data presented in the different types of tables in the report.
Appendix 2 to this supplementary report provides additional information relevant only to the interpretation of tables for the Northern Territory. Appendix 3 contains a copy of the client form used to collect data in 2006–07.
Data presented here primarily relate to the financial year ending 30 June 2007. In addition, a number of tables contain data for the 11 years that the National Data Collection has been conducted (refer to Chapter 9). 
Estimates in this report are subject to revision. Revised tables, along with the reports themselves, are posted on the website of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare <www.aihw.gov.au>. Regional tables and counts for all data items collected are available in hard copy or electronic format on request from the National Data Collection Agency, which is managed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (ndca@aihw.gov.au).

Clients	3,250	
Mean number of support periods per client	1.49	
Clients per 10,000 population aged 10+ years(a)	182	
(a)	‘Per 10,000 population aged 10+ years’ shows how many people out of every 10,000 aged 10 years and over in the general population became SAAP clients. The rate is estimated by comparing the number of SAAP clients aged 10 years and over with the estimated resident population aged 10 years and over at 30 June 2006 (preliminary estimates). 
Notes
1.	Number excluded due to errors and omissions (weighted): 0.
2.	The number of clients in this table relates to the first visit for that client in the Northern Territory. Since a client may have support periods in more than one state or territory, state and territory figures do not sum to the national figure.
3.	Support period figures have been weighted to adjust for agency non-participation.
4.	Client figures have been weighted to adjust for agency non-participation and client non-consent.

(a)	Dates of support and accommodation are not collected for accompanying children. For the purposes of calculating the number of accompanying child support periods with and without a period of accommodation, accompanying children are assumed to be accommodated if their parent or guardian was accommodated.
(b)	‘Per 10,000 population aged 0–17 years’ shows how many people out of every 10,000 aged 17 years and under in the general population accompanied SAAP clients. The rate is estimated by comparing the number of SAAP accompanying children aged 17 years and under with the estimated resident population aged 17 years and under at 30 June 2006 (preliminary estimates). 
Notes
1.	Number excluded due to errors and omissions (weighted): 0.
2.	The number of accompanying children in this table relates to the first visit for that child in the Northern Territory. Since a client with accompanying children may have support periods in more than one state or territory, state and territory figures do not sum to the national figure.
3.	Accompanying child support period figures have been weighted to adjust for agency non-participation.
4.	Accompanying children figures have been weighted to adjust for agency non-participation and client non-consent.

(d)	Funding for 2006–07 includes Innovation and Investment Fund allocations. Refer to Appendix 1 and AIHW 2008.
Notes
1.	In 2005–06 the definition of a support period, the definition of a client and the statistical linkage key were changed. Data from that point on are therefore not comparable to previous years.
2.	Refer to AIHW 2008:Chapter 9 for further information.
3.	Support period figures have been weighted to adjust for agency non-participation.
4.	Client figures have been weighted to adjust for agency non-participation and client non-consent.

Notes
1.	In 2005–06 the definition of an accompanying child support period, the definition of an accompanying child and the statistical linkage key were changed. Data from that point on are therefore not comparable to previous years.
2.	Dates of support and accommodation are not collected for accompanying children. For the purposes of calculating the number of days of support and the number of nights of accommodation, accompanying children are assumed to have the same periods of support and accommodation as their parent(s) or guardian(s).
3.	The number of accompanying children in this table relates to the first visit for that child in the Northern Territory. Since a client with accompanying children may have support periods in more than one state or territory, state and territory figures do not sum to the national figure.
4.	Refer to AIHW 2008:Chapter 9 for further information.
5.	Accompanying child support period figures have been weighted to adjust for agency non-participation.
6.	Accompanying children figures have been weighted to adjust for agency non-participation and client non-consent.

A2.2	Additional counting rules
In the tables in this report, when counting clients or support periods in particular groups, the following rules have been used in addition to those outlined in Appendix 2 of the national report (AIHW 2008).

Region	The regional classification developed by the Northern Territory Department of Health and Community Services for administrative purposes is used in this report. The names of these regions are:
•	North
•	South.	
Rounding	Note that numbers of support periods and clients are generally rounded to the nearest 50 in the state and territory supplementary tables and to the nearest 100 in the national report.
