Legend
Count by Primary Category
- refers to number of organisations/services in the council listed under this category
i.e. Primary category is Recreation, Count of Primary Category 107
e.g. 107 services listed in a council area are indexed under the primary heading/category 'Recreation'
- Percentage of Sessions by Primary Category
i.e. Primary category is recreation, percentage of all sessions/visits in council area means that 40% of visits are for services indexed under recreation for this council
Sessions by Organisation
- refers to number of sessions (a count of the number of user visits to an entry/listing on the site)
e.g. 682 visits to the Child & Family Health Service - Port Lincoln in FY 2019-2020
- Organisations - Percentage of Total Sessions
i.e. 13.91% of all visits to services in Port Lincoln were to the Child & Family Health Service listing
Sessions defined by Google Analytics refer to 'the period of time a user is active on your site or app. By default, if a user is inactive for 30 minutes or more, any future activity is attributed to a new session. Users that leave your site and return within 30 minutes are counted as part of the original session.'
Organisations by primary category - slicer view
- refers to services listed as operating in a council area as indexed by their primary category for example: lists all those services indexed under 'community organisation & development'
i.e. Slicer view allows filtering of the report under each category with the embedded link

Acknowledgements
Thank you to volunteers Nirupama Amarakoon who initiated this project and tools starting with Mt Barker Council data in August 2020 and to Stathis Avramis who has seen this project through from its start in mid-2020, solving some IT coding challenges in the exports to producing step-by-step training documentation, teaching our team by early 2021. Stathis now onboards and trains all members of our data team, including Hang Zhang (started February 2021 - 16 May 2022), Sophie Hood (an established volunteer who rejoined this project in March 2021 - Aug 2021) and Renu Bala (our former intern who rejoined as a volunteer in June 2021 - 23 March 2022) who have joined in this project to use the tools, formulas and data to realise a project that has become a new ongoing volunteer program.
We would also like to thank our interns Julia Koh, Jesslyn Danli and volunteers Blake Kennison, Ziqi Xu who have started in July 2022 also with the guidance of Stathis Avramis.
The Data Analytics program not only allows us to indicate community service demand for council decision-making, it provides another tool to undertake the ongoing data cleansing needed to ensure that records are complete and correct within the database, providing councils, libraries, government and the general public with accurate data exports.
