You can make extensive location searches which include:

Two Service Text Searches are available.

Keyword searching, which allows you to find a service by using up to five keywords from its description, is the most comprehensive search method. The program provides a list of keywords for you to select from in order to initiate a search.

Keyword searching is the answer to finding the service with the features you want, located where you want.

Focus searching allows you to find a service according to its category, type or focus. You first choose a Service Area from a list of broad categories like Community Care, Disabilities, Education, Employment, Health, Housing or Recreation. After selecting your broad category you then narrow the focus by selecting a Service Target. So for Education, you could narrow your focus to preschools, special schools or universities, for example.

Focus searching is the answer to finding lists of services of a particular type or category.

Service Text Searching returns a list and then individual service screens according to your choice.

Each service screen in the directory shows:

• The essential service details.
• The information needed to gain access to the service.
• A date showing how recently the details were checked with the agency providing the service.

The information for each service includes a point of contact and telephone numbers

A service description specifies:

• the nature of the service delivered
• the target group of each service
• the office hours & availability of the particular service
• referral & assessment requirements
