Please help with Community Sector Survey - deadline 3rd May

Dear colleagues,

WE NEED YOUR HELP - AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITY SECTOR SURVEY - CLOSES 3 MAY 2013
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/acss2013

I am writing to you to ask for your assistance in ensuring that your organisation completes this year's Australian Community Sector Survey.

The Australian Community Sector Survey is the key national source of information about the community services sector and the issues that face our clients. It is a key advocacy tool in highlighting unmet demand for services and key challenges facing organisations trying to address them. It is used widely by policy makers and researchers.

I am asking for your help in making sure that we get the best possible information about what is happening on the ground. Please complete the survey or forward onto the most appropriate person within your organisation to complete it by the due date (3 May 2013).

Completion of the survey requires:

* Information about client numbers and profile in key services for the 2010/11 and 2011/12 years as well as turnaway rates
* Financial data for the last two years
* Staffing information for the last two years.

You can complete the survey online (the easiest approach):

The 2013 survey is now open and closes on May 3, 2013 . In completing the survey, your organisation will also go into a draw to win one of three free tickets to the 2014 ACOSS National Conference.

If you have any problems with the survey, please email ACOSS at PolicyIntern@acoss.org.au or call on 02 9310 6200.

Thank you for your help in ensuring that this survey continues as a critical tool in advocating for adequate services for those missing out in Australia.
