Annual Report from the Global Lead Advice & Support Service (GLASS)
to SA Dept of Health & NSW Health & DEC
incorporating Quarterly Reports June 2004 to May 2005

     
How did Clients hear about GLASS?

Because the last remaining information and referral officer, Elizabeth O'Brien continues to ask each caller how they heard about our service it is possible to find out the impact of individual media items, government department web-links and referral listings for GLASS and note the huge impact (41% of all new clients) of our own website in notifying people of the existence of the Service. The table below would seem to indicate that the web is the major way of researching lead these days but the relatively low numbers of callers who found our contact details on government websites (especially Council websites) is indicative of a much greater potential for web-links from government websites to www.lead.org.au in the future.
