Purpose
The Enhanced Needs Identification (NI) combines the previously existing Initial Contact-reporting purposes with the Needs Identification information collection under domains. The Enhanced NI can be done anonymously then attached to a registered individual, or simply completed and ‘filed’ for reporting. The Enhanced NI can also be done from an existing registered individual within the Common Outcome Plan (COP).

The provision of doing an NI or assessment is counted as an intervention towards federal funding for education or employment programs. As such, 3 fields need to be completed in every NI to indicate whether the intervention counts towards funding from the Federal Government.

Procedure
