The justification provides a short, concise statement that sets out how each statistic relates to the four criteria.


Critical frequency
The minimum required frequency for the statistic(s) to be reported.

Note that it is not a requirement that all aspects of the statistics identified in the list are required at this frequency – a more detailed assessment will be undertaken during phase 2 of the initiative.


Critical spatial
The level of spatial disaggregations required for the statistic(s).

Note that is not a requirement that all aspects of the statistics identified in the list are required to be reported at this level of disaggregation – a more detailed assessment will be undertaken during phase 2 of the initiative.


Critical disaggregation
The minimum disaggregations required to maximise the utility of the statistic(s) and meet reporting obligations.

Note that is not a requirement that all aspects of the statistics identified in the list are required to be reported at this level of disaggregation – a more detailed assessment will be undertaken during phase 2 of the initiative.
