The Australian Community Sector Survey 2011 (ACSS) presents the findings of the ACOSS annual survey of community services across Australia. The survey was conducted throughout November-December 2010 and covers the period from 1 July 2009 - 30 June 2010. A total of 745 agencies completed the survey, responding on issues relating to service provision, income and expenditure, operational, policy, and workforce issues for the community services sector.
The ACSS is the only annual national survey collecting data about the non-government, non-profit community services and welfare sector. This sector is a major provider of the community services that most of us rely on at some point in our lives, but which are particularly important to people on low incomes.
