The ABS is embarking on a transformation program which is expected to deliver positive changes to the production of official statistics. However, there is a risk of introducing impacts on the time series of ABS publications. This paper builds on previous work to explore the usage of state space modelling to measure statistical impacts, using the Australia Labour Force Survey as a case study. It proposes a state space model that utilises both parallel run collection and phase-in information and provides results of the model's performance from a simulation study. This model's performance is better than any models that were previously explored in our research.
