5 BRINGING TOGETHER 2011 CENSUS DATA WITH OTHER DATASETS WITHOUT USING NAME AND ADDRESS AFTER CENSUS PROCESSING
In 2011, the ABS will support certain projects that bring together the full 2011 Census dataset with other ABS and non-ABS datasets without name and address after Census processing. Projects of this sort were not conducted with the 2006 Census, where the non-ABS datasets were brought together with the 5% Statistical Longitudinal Census Dataset file.
Any data integration projects linking datasets to the full Census without name and address will need to satisfy the following:
- name and address will not be used in the linking;
- the link will be to a single cycle of the Census only;
- the use of the Census data must be for statistical and research purposes only;
- the use of Census data must be of significant community benefit;
- the use of Census data is appropriate to address the research questions under consideration; and
- the use of Census data must not require access to identifiable information.
All such data integration projects will require the approval of the Australian Statistician to proceed.
Details of all such projects approved to proceed will be published. Datasets created for these projects will have standard ABS confidentiality methods applied and be accessible through standard ABS secure data arrangements whereby no information likely to enable identification of an individual will be released.
