Agriculture, forestry and fishing experienced increases in most key data items for 2022-23.

Agriculture, forestry and fishing industry division earnings increased 7.2% ($1.9b), driven by an 8.9% ($11.0b) increase in Sales and service income.
Division growth was driven by the Agriculture subdivision, which experienced a 5.7% ($1.3b) increase in earnings, amid high export volumes.
Total expenses grew 8.4% ($9.1b), slower than the growth experienced in 2021-22 (10.4%, $10.2b). Increasing expenses were driven by higher input costs for farming products such as fertiliser and petrol.
The division experienced another year of Employment declines, with Employment decreasing by 5,000 people (-1.1%). This decrease was driven by the Agriculture subdivision, which saw a decline of 8,000 people (-2.3%).

Estimates for the Mining industry largely reflect calendar year reporting for 2022. For a limited range of estimates adjusted to a June financial year basis, see the 'Off-June adjusted estimates by subdivision' data cube in the Data Downloads.
The Mining industry division grew in all key data items for 2022-23.

Mining earnings and IVA grew 23.4% ($52.0b) and 23.2% ($66.4b) respectively, driven by a 21.6% ($93.3b) increase in Sales and service income.
Mining earnings growth was driven by the Coal mining and Oil and gas extraction subdivisions, up 54.9% ($26.1b) and 73.9% ($37.7b) respectively. Earnings growth was slightly offset by a 16.5% (-$19.9b) decline for the Metal ore mining subdivision. The growth of the Coal mining and Oil and gas extraction subdivisions, and the decline of the Metal ore mining subdivision were similarly represented in Merchandise Exports.
The Export Price Index for Mining increased 11.0% between the 2021-22 and 2022-23 financial years, following an increase of 39.9% between the 2021 and 2022 calendar years. This price effect is reflected in the difference between the increase of 24.0% ($108.9b) in Mining Total income in the Australian industry, and Mining data cubes, which largely reflect calendar year growth for this industry, and the contrasting growth of 12.4% ($62.1b) for the financial year contained in the Off-June adjusted estimates data cube.
Prices for key export commodities in metallurgical coal, thermal coal and LNG rose strongly over the calendar year period, reflecting price rises following global supply shocks resulting from the conflict in Ukraine in March Qtr 2022. This is in contrast to the performance over the June year end, which saw moderate price growth for LNG and thermal coal as supply chain issues began to ease and metallurgical prices fall due to global growth concerns in the latter half of 2022-23.
Mining industry Employment increased 8.8% (18,000 people), driven by growth of 7.7% (7,000 people) in the Metal ore mining subdivision and growth of 8.6% (4,000 people) in the Exploration and other mining support services subdivision.

The Manufacturing industry grew in most key data items for 2022-23.

Manufacturing industry division earnings grew 2.2% ($1.1b), driven by a 9.9% ($45.6b) increase in Sales and service income. This was offset by an increase in Purchases of goods and materials of 8.4% ($23.1b) and an 10.5% ($7.9b) increase in Other intermediate input expenses.
The Manufacturing industry's earnings was driven by the Machinery and equipment subdivision, which rose 18.8% ($1.1b) due to strong government investment in infrastructure, transport and defence, while increasing Merchandise Exports also contributed to growth.
Primary metal and metal product manufacturing subdivision and Fabricated metal product manufacturing subdivision earnings declined 19.9% (-$1.4b) and 8.3% (-$409m) respectively, as the demand for metal production and metal products softened, notably aluminium and steel, in response to weakening global growth in 2022-23.
Wages and salaries grew 9.0% ($5.8b), driven by strong growth in the Food product manufacturing subdivision (12.8%, $1.7b) and the Transport equipment manufacturing subdivision (19.8%, $1.1b).
Employment grew 3.5% (31,000 people), driven by increases in the Transport equipment manufacturing subdivision (21.0%, 15,000 people).

Electricity, gas, water and waste services increases in most key data items for 2022-23.

Electricity supply subdivision earnings increased 5.3% ($887m), while Gas supply subdivision earnings increased 37.8% ($728m). The Electricity and Gas industry faced higher input prices for coal and natural gas at the end of the previous financial year stemming from global energy shortages, negatively impacting the profitability of the Industry in 2021-22. To remain economically viable, these higher costs were priced into business and customer tariffs in 2022-23.
IVA for the Electricity, gas, water and waste services industry increased by 6.9% ($3.3b), driven by an increase in Sales and service income of 11.3% ($16.5b), which was offset by a 15.6% ($10.0b) increase in Purchases of goods and materials and a 10.4% ($4.8b) increase in Other intermediate input expenses.
Employment within the Electricity, gas, water and waste services division increased 4.0% (5,000 people).

The Construction industry experienced growth across all key data items in 2022-23.

Construction industry division earnings increased 11.6% ($6.1b), driven by an increase of 14.1% ($69.3b) in Sales and service income. The division continued its post-pandemic growth due to increased demand for civil and non-residential work, as well as increases in output prices. Higher cost of materials and labour were factored into new and existing contracts, resulting in higher output prices.
Construction IVA experienced similar growth of 14.8% ($21.0b), driven by the 17.3% ($14.4b) growth within the Construction services subdivision, which predominately provides the trade services required to the building and civil construction projects.
Purchases of goods and materials for the Construction industry increased 17.3% ($35.6b) as greater demand resulted in an increase in building material prices.
Despite steep declines in both dwelling commencements and approvals in response to surging borrowing and construction costs, the volume of dwellings under construction remained high, resulting in an increase in the value of construction work done for the period.
Wages and Salaries within the Construction industry increased 12.7% ($9.8b), despite a 1.8% (22,000 people) increase in Employment, as shortages in skilled workers combined with increased demands led to upward wage pressures on businesses.

The Arts and recreation services industry experienced continued growth across most key data items.

Arts and recreation services industry division earnings grew 29.6% ($1.6b).
The earnings increase was driven by a rise in Sales and service income of 21.1% ($8.1b), due to strong consumer demand for recreational activities following the end of COVID-19 restrictions.
IVA growth was driven by the Sports and recreation activities subdivision, which showed IVA growth of 36.6% ($2.5).
Wages & salaries growth (18.1%, $1.6b) outpaced Employment (11,000 people, 4.5%), due to the return of normal working hours following the conclusion of COVID-19 related restrictions.
