NATIONAL STATISTICAL SERVICE
The National Statistical Service (NSS) is an initiative which supports a whole of government approach to the management of statistical information. Its aim is to increase the range of good quality statistical information available for decision making, and to forge statistical partnerships to share knowledge and expertise.
STATISTICAL CLEARING HOUSE (SCH)
The SCH is the central clearance point for all Australian government surveys involving 50 or more businesses. The purpose of the clearance process is to minimise the burden placed on businesses in completing Australian government surveys by eliminating duplication and ensuring that good practice is adhered to in designing and conducting business surveys.
STATE AND TERRITORY STATISTICAL SERVICE (STSS)
The State and Territory Statistical Service (STSS) leads the expansion of the National Statistical Service in the regions and provides a flexible and responsive service to meet priority statistical needs of State and Territory clients. Services available to Northern Territory (NT) clients include statistical consultancies (eg professional advice on survey design, data analysis and forms design) and training courses tailored to the specific needs of your organisation.

- An inventory of NT Government data holdings;
- Regional Statistics publication quarterly release redesign;
- Identification of data sources for the NT Government's 'Territory 2030' plan;
