Calculation rules
- Computation
A client may be in the FCS program for one or multiple reasons out of twelve. Each reason is a binary code (i.e. 1 or 0) in the DEX_ref_assistance_needed table. The PRIMARYASSISTANCENEEDEDKEY is an integer that shows the different combination of the flag of the primary different reasons clients seek assistance for FCS. The PRIMARYASSISTANCENEEDEDKEY is used to join with the AssistanceNeededKey in the DEX_ref_assistance_needed table. For example, AssistanceNeededKey = 14 means the clients is seeking assistance for Housing, Training & Employment reasons. AssistanceNeededKey = 24 means it is seeking assistance for Personal and Housing reasons.
The criteria used in determining clients' primary and secondary reasons for seeking assistance include:
Activity ID = 107 (i.e. FCS Activity only)
Participation Type = 'CLIENT' (only Individual clients are included).
The summary total of primary reasons clients' seek assistance is therefore :
A sum of each of the following reasons for seeking assistance: AGE, MATERIAL, FAMILY, MONEY, PHYSICAL, COMMUNITY, MENTAL, PERSONAL, HOUSING, TRAINING, EMPLOYMENT, EDUCEMPL where it equals = 1.

This is disaggregated by primary assistance reason and secondary assistance needed. The primary assistance needed is calculated by:
PRIMARYASSISTANCENEEDEDKEY from FCaS_Attendance Table = AssistanceNeededKey from DEX_ref_assistance_needed.
The secondary assistance needed is calculated by:
AssistanceNeededKey from FCaS_Attendance Table = AssistanceNeededKey from DEX_ref_assistance_needed.
The Family Connect and Support Program Dashboard disaggregates by district (outlet), LGA (outlet), Aboriginality and CALD.
