What's New with the Web
With a range of new and exciting online Census products currently available using 2001 data, and soon to be released with 2006 data, let's look at the latest developments on the ABS web site.
2006 Community Profile Templates - out now!
The 2006 Census Community Profile Series templates, released on the ABS web site on 5 January 2007, are provided as a guide to the standard tables which will be available when the data is released. Templates for the Basic Community, Indigenous and Place of Enumeration Profiles are currently available.
Take advantage of this early release of the templates in preparation for the release of 2006 Census data from mid-2007. Determine in advance which data will be available as standard output and plan your requirements from customised tables accordingly. Please note that release dates vary for different Community Profile types.

FINDING CENSUS DATA HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER...
If you haven't experienced the new Census Internet interface yet, here's another good reason to visit today.
QuickStats provides a summary of key Census data for a chosen area, benchmarked against Australia.
We now have a new and quicker way to get a QuickStats picture of an area.
QuickStats QuickSearch enables you to view a variety of Census information for any postal area in Australia.
It's as simple as typing in the postcode on the Census homepage at www.abs.gov.au/census and pressing 'GO'
In addition, Print Friendly options and Breadcrumbs are due to be added to the ABS web site in March/April this year.
The new Print Friendly feature will enhance printing functionality for all statistical products. By clicking the ‘Print Friendly’ link at the top right of the content on Summary and Explanatory Notes tabs, users will be presented with a display of the current content without web navigation links.
Breadcrumbs will also be introduced to the ABS web site. This new feature will make navigating the ABS web site easier, as it displays the hierarchy of pages from the home page to your current screen, and allows you to return to any point along the ‘path’ by simply clicking on the link.
These developments reflect the ABS' ongoing commitment to improving web site access and usability. Drawing on your feedback and continued research into the latest web site functionality initiatives, the ABS will identify improvements and work to implement them on our site.
