The State and Territory Statistical Service (STSS) leads the extension 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.

NATIONAL DATA NETWORK

The National Data Network (NDN) is a key development activity for the NSS. The NDN provides infrastructure, protocols, standards and services to support the sharing and integrating of data across Australia. It has been developed to increase the availability, accessibility and usability of information sources relevant to policy analysis and research, particularly key administrative and survey data sets held by Commonwealth and State Government agencies.

For further information visit the NDN web site at www.nationaldatanetwork.org

In Western Australia, the Department of Land Information and the Institute of Child Health Research are participating in the development of the NDN.

RURAL AND REGIONAL STATISTICS PROGRAM

The Rural and Regional Statistics program aims to increase the availability of regional data. Activities include improving access to, and dissemination of ABS data and data from other sources, and developing new indicators where feasible. A particular focus of this work is on utilising administrative data maintained by Australian Government and state/territory goverment agencies. These activities are undertaken by the Rural and Regional Statistics National Centre and by Regional Statistics Units in each ABS state and territory office. For further information see the Regional Statistics theme page.
