On 14 November 2006, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) published a report (Cutting the red tape: preliminary paper detailing the problem of multiple entry and reporting by service providers) which says that many community service agencies deliver multiple programs and are funded through a variety of sources. Anecdotal evidence suggest that these services have an increased administrative and reporting burden, as they are required to collect and report on the same or similar data, on multiple occasions. This report aims to describe and validate the issue of this recording and reporting burden for these services and those who use them.
