Who we are

We are responsible for:
- Demographic statistics for the Australian population and Indigenous community that provide population counts, estimates, projections, characteristics and spatial data that inform policy development and monitoring and inform business and community planning, research and analysis.
- Labour statistics, covering labour supply and demand, and workplace relations, for use in the analysis, evaluation and monitoring of the economy and of labour market programs.
- Information about industry structure and performance, and industry indicators and output measures, used as input to the compilation of macro economic statistics and for analysis and monitoring of the economy, including statistics on agriculture.
- An environment statistics program focused on the development and production of a suite of Environmental-Economic accounts and other environmental indicators that complements and articulates with the biophysical data being produced by other agencies as part of the National Plan for Environmental Information.
- Coordination of spatially enabled and integrated statistical products and services, including ABS statistical geography, to facilitate the provision of spatial data at multiple and flexible spatial dimensions, particularly for regional areas.
