Role Title: Client Database Intern
Organisation: Multicultural Services Centre
Internship Period: Summer (November - December)
Location: Mirrabooka
To design or amend a client database for a counselling program that permits staff to enter client case notes and demographic data but that also has a reporting function.
The intern will be interacting primarily with the counselling staff to ascertain their reporting requirements for their funding body. The intern will also liaise with a member of our IT team. At present we utilise SharePoint which is not an efficacious site to use for the information we need to store. The main purpose of the intern is to consider other options for the storage of client information and for data analysis and reporting. For example, each financial year we publish a report for our funding body. This report outlines a number of key variables, including, the number of clients, number of client contacts, types of client presenting problems etc. We require a system that allows us to open and close files and reopen files as the need arises. We would like to integrate the client referral form into the database.
MSCWA's purpose is to meet the settlement, welfare, education and training, cultural, legal and related needs of culturally and linguistically diverse Western Australians; and to use its cultural and linguistic service planning and delivery expertise to undertake initiatives to respond to natural and other disasters and humanitarian causes overseas.
