Client Goals Report for Site/Service
This article provides detailed information relating to The 'Client Goals Report for Site/Service' Report.
This report provides Team Leaders with a helpful resource in which to review Client Goals, Goal Strategies, and Journal Evidence for all Clients participating in the Service/s they have responsibility for, in one report, rather than reviewing these in individual Client records.
This overview perspective is also a useful tool for monitoring whether evidence is being gathered, and progress tracked towards Clients achieving their Goals, to assist your organisation with meeting the NDIS compliance requirements related to Journal evidence.
N.B. Another useful tool for tracking Goal Strategy progress and identifying Goal Strategies that have not been linked to any Client Journal evidence is the 'Client Goal Strategy Search', which is filterable by a range of search criteria. The related export contains detailed information about the Goal Strategy along with information about the Client Goal. More information about this Search is available in the related article linked below.

The level of detail displayed is determined by the filter settings selected.
Goals by Site/Service
When a Site/Service is selected for this Report, it is important to note that the results generated include all active Goals and related Goal Strategies for each Client. They are not limited specifically to the Site/Service selected for this report, and may therefore relate to other Site/Services the Clients participate in.
For example, Day Services @ Melbourne (HQ) was selected when generating the Report. As Client Andrea has this Site/Service listed in her Client Service Participation she is included in the Report. You will notice however that her Goal Strategies relate not only to the selected Site/Service but also to other Services that Andrea participates in e.g. Therapeutic Supports:
Journal Details
Depending on how the Journal filters are set will determine if Journals are displayed in the Report, and/or the level of detail displayed.
When the 'Show Journal Evidence' filter is set to 'No', the 'Journals' section is not included in the Report:
When 'Show Journal Evidence' has been set to 'Yes', but 'Show Journal Detail' is set to 'No', a summary of the Journal Evidence only is displayed, along with the result of any completed Assessments :
When the 'Show Journal Detail' filter is set to 'Yes' for this report, the 'detail' displayed relates to the Goal/Strategy Notes from the respective Client Journal.
These Goal/Strategy Notes will appear in the report underneath the corresponding Client Journal header.
Data in the Notes field in the Journal Details section of the Client record will not be included in the Client Goals report.
Client Journals where the Goals/Strategy Notes field has been left blank (as per the above example) will still appear on the Client Goals report, however, the field below the corresponding Client Journal header will remain blank as there is no data to display.
N.B. Client Journals created prior to the release of v6.8.0 in August 2019 (which introduced the ability to link multiple Goals/Strategies) function differently. In the absence of data in the Goal/Strategy Notes field, data contained in the Notes field in the Journal Details section of the Client Journal will be included in the Client Goals report.
