ESTIMATED RESIDENT POPULATION STATUS

ERP data for 30 September 2001 to 30 June 2006 are final and based on the 2006 Census of Population and Housing. Data from September quarter 2006 to December quarter 2009 are revised for all components. NOM estimates from March quarter 2010 estimates onwards are preliminary. Natural Increase data are revised for the March and June quarters of 2010 and preliminary thereafter - see paragraph 7 of the Explanatory Notes.

Due to the collection and estimation methods applied to produce preliminary statistics, users should exercise caution when analysing and interpreting the most recent annual and quarterly estimates for all components of the ERP, particularly when making time series comparisons.

Data released with this publication now include population estimates by age and sex, and other associated data which were previously published in Population by Age and Sex, Australian States and Territories (cat. no. 3201.0), which ceased with the release of the June quarter 2010 data (released 21 December 2010).
