What is CURF Microdata?

A Confidentialised Unit Record File (CURF) is a file of responses to an ABS survey that has had specific identifying information about a person or organisation confidentialised. Each person’s or organisation's response is called a ‘unit record’ or ‘microdata’. CURFs are useful for researchers and statisticians as they allow them to discover specific information and trends.
