| DDMMYYYY The day of a particular month and year. | DSS specific information: This metadata item is used in calculation of measures of periods of support and duration of assistance and for measuring various point in time data. The date on which provision of housing assistance by an agency was completed, ceased or terminated. This metadata item should always be recorded as an 8 digit valid date comprising day, month and year. Year should always be recorded in its full 4 digit format. For days and months with a numeric value of less than 10, zeros should be used to ensure that the date contains the required 8 digits. For example, if an episode is completed on July 1 2002 date should be recorded as 01072002. Tenancy end date must be related to a particular housing assistance episode. For each separate housing assistance episode a separate date should be recorded. For the public rental housing and state owned and managed Indigenous housing data collections the tenancy end date should be taken from the date specified on the tenancy agreement. Tenants may actually move out prior to this date. |
- | Tenancy start date | Date/Time

| DDMMYYYY The day of a particular month and year. | DSS specific information: This metadata item is used in calculation of measures of periods of support and duration of assistance and for measuring various point in time data. The date on which the provision of housing assistance to a household by an agency commenced, as distinct from the date the household applies and is entered on the waiting list or assessed for eligibility. The date recorded should be the date on which the client has begun to receive some form of assistance. This metadata item should always be recorded as an 8-digit valid date comprising day, month and year. Year should always be recorded in its full 4-digit format. For days and months with a numeric value of less than 10, zeros should be used to ensure that the date contains the required 8 digits. For example, if an episode starts on July 1 2000 the date should be recorded as 01072000. For each separate tenancy, a separate start date should be recorded. Same address transfers, mutual exchanges and succession of tenancy of dwellings are not considered separate housing assistance events. For the public rental housing and state owned and managed Indigenous housing data collections the tenancy start date should be taken from the date specified on the tenancy agreement. Tenants may actually move in at a later date than this date. |
