1 Introduction
Welcome to the new user friendly AESA register
This template has been developed as a one stop shop for all AESA activities ndash registering monitoring reporting and payment
tracking
The register for each districtservice unit is hosted on the Accommodation and Respite (AampR) SharePoint site in the AESA
folder
A SharePoint site is a website that provides a central storage and collaboration space for documents information and ideas
A SharePoint site is a dynamic interactive tool that helps groups of people (eg Districts Service Units and Central Office)
share information and work together
Relevant staff will be provided access to SharePoint by the AampR AESA team Existing contacts will receive a SharePoint
invitation automatically For new employees requiring access to the AESA register please email AESAfacsnswgovau
A consolidated state-wide report and a state-wide stock search function will also be available for consultation in the near
future
AESA reporting will be ongoing and every application received should be added to the districtservice unit register when it is
received
The register should then be updated when applications are reviewed and decisions are made and also when equipment is
procured either from the vendor or from the stocked items
All applications must be registered whether they are approved declined or deferred (deferred means application approved
but purchase delayed to the next financial year due to lack of budget)
It is intended to capture ALL demand for AESA equipment not just approved applications and will include applications
sourced from stock

to search using the drop down menus The list of available items

the item to their application ie will the client accept an item that is
not new and does it require any modification
