Australians Living on the Edge 6: Community Sector Confidence Survey

This is the sixth Australians Living on the Edge survey of the community services sector conducted by ACOSS and the State and Territory Councils of Social Service.

The survey examines key changes in the operating environment of community organisations, major issues of concern to organisations, and how the community services sector is responding. Indirectly, the survey also aims to provide a sense of how the primary users of community services - low-income and disadvantaged
Australians - are faring.

Together, the 125 respondents to the survey delivered services to over 462,000 low income and disadvantaged clients in the 12 months to June 2003.
