This chapter presents a profile of CDC and CDRC participants and the supports they accessed, based on data collected from CDC and CDRC providers as part of this evaluation. In particular, the chapter identifies:
- the characteristics of CDC and CDRC participants, and whether there were particular groups who were more or less likely to participate in CDC or CDRC than others
- the supports accessed by CDC and CDRC participants and the expenditure on those supports, and including the extent to which supports were provided in-house versus brokered or purchased from other support providers.
Detailed data tables relating to participant characteristics and the supports they accessed are presented in Appendix B.
