8 April 2008 - the pdf file has been released today and is now available from the Details Tab A Message From The Regional Director GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE WHO CAN ASSIST YOU IN THE ACT OFFICE Welcome to the March 2008 edition – the new year brings a new approach – the ACT office, located in Civic, has established a government client relations team to coordinate work with ACT government agencies on progressing activities in the Cabinet endorsed partnership Agreed Statistical Priorities for the ACT Government: Information Development Plan, 2007-2010 (IDP). The IDP provides a high level framework for a whole of government approach to improve the management and development of statistical resources for the ACT. This issue features photos and background about ACT office staff contacts for ACT government and business. Our statistical liaison officers support key activities in the IDP, can assist you with statistical and Australian Bureau of Statistics website training; and more complex queries about the ABS. An article on the current ABS outposting to ACT Health and the Department of Education and Training to map the health, education and workforce pipeline is an illustration of the collaboration between ACT government and the ABS. For general information on ABS statistics you can still contact our National Information Referral Service on 1300 135 070. We are having our current round of meetings with ACT government agencies in the lead up to the annual State Statistical Forum on March 11. The forum brings together representatives from state and territory governments and the ABS to discuss issues that we can all collaborate on thereby improving statistical information to support the planning and policy decisions of state/territory governments. The four main priorities to be discussed are:
- children and youth - Indigenous population, with a focus on improving the remote community and urban census count- - increasing the development and improvement of local level economic data. Other areas for discussion at the forum include water statistics, housing affordability and engagement with ABS user groups. A number of cross-jurisdictional projects are proposed for each priority, for example the ACT office is developing a proposal for a research project on service populations and projections for regional centres. In 2008 we will be launching a new look electronic publication which will include statistical indicators about the ACT and feature articles on topics of interest to our community. More information will be in the next issue of ABStract. We are in the process of briefing agencies about current challenges in matching our work program to available funding. Due to 2008-09 financial constraints, ABS is reducing activity on a variety of statistical collections and processes. The ABS is currently exploring the options for achieving substantial savings while maintaining the most value for clients. Karen Macdonald ACT Regional Director Knowledge channels at work... Health, Education and Workforce Pipeline – A collaborative project with the ACT government The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) has recognised that there is a labour supply imbalance with health workforce requirements and work is progressing nationally to better align education and training with health sector needs. To inform this workforce planning process and redress this imbalance we need a clear understanding of the supply and demand ‘pipeline’ for identified health occupations: from entry into an education program, through to entry into the labour force, and then to exit from the labour force. ACT Health, ACT Department of Education and Training (ACT DET) and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, through its 2007-08 ACT Annual Statistical Consultancy Fund, are jointly funding an outposted officer, Rhonda de Vos, to start scoping a project to map the health education and workforce pipeline. Rhonda is located in ACT Health for the next three months. The Health and Education Workforce Pipelines project commenced on 14 January 2008 and will continue for the next 3-6 months. The first phase of the project will be a feasibility assessment (including a detailed scoping exercise and quality assessments of identified data sources) to determine if it would be feasible to develop a methodology to map the supply/demand pipeline for particular health occupations. If the decision is made to proceed with development of a methodology, the project will aim to produce a sample system and recommendations for future methodological work. We look forward to keeping you informed about this important workforce project. Shutter closes on ACT in Focus and focuses on the future For 14 years the publication, Australian Capital Territory in Focus, has given us fascinating insights into the ACT and its people. This flagship publication, first launched in 1993, informs us, among other things, that territorians, on average, live longer, have less children, earn more money, pay the highest rents, play more sport and participate in more cultural activities, than their fellow countrymen. The 2007 and final edition, launched on 29 November 2007, by the ACT Chief Minister, Jon Stanhope, brings this era to a close. Around 50 people attended the launch, including MLAs, Jon Stanhope, Deb Foskey, Karin MacDonald, Bill Stefaniak (Leader of the Opposition), the Mayor of Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, Roger Norton. All ACT Government agencies were represented by senior members of staff including the Chief Executive of Chief Minister's Department, Andrew Cappie-Wood and our Australian Statistical Advisory Council representative, Pam Davoren. The Chief Minister took the opportunity to promote the new whole-of-government IDP, developed in partnership with the ABS. Mr Stanhope said 'The plan, which was formally adopted by the Government recently, would help agencies produce better and more useful data, which in turn would help the Government carry out evidence-based research and better evaluate and report on programs'. The ACT is the first jurisdiction in Australia to develop a whole-of-government IDP. Ms Karen Macdonald spoke on the importance of statistics, citing the Istanbul declaration at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Forum on Measuring and Fostering the Progress of Society and the IDP partnership as recent examples. She highlighted that Australian Capital Territory in Focus painted a picture of a well-off and culturally advanced community, although she did acknowledge some areas of concern. Karen also talked about the importance of bringing ABS and non-ABS data together, saying that 41% of the tables in the publication are sourced from non-ABS data. Electronic ... the way ahead Big changes are afoot for the three ACT Office publications! Last December, The ACT Regional Office held a Publication Planning Day where ACT Regional Director, Karen Macdonald, in her opening address, acknowledged the progress and achievements made to its publications by the publishing team. Karen highlighted that to meet changing client needs and expectations we must review our content and utilise the electronic environment more fully. The Internet will be the key dissemination vehicle for ACT office publications in the future, focusing on National Statistical Service and State and Territory Statistical Service requirements. Vital elements from three publications: Australian Capital Territory in Focus; ACT Stats; and ACT and Region... A Statistical Atlas, will be combined into one quality electronic publication - a one-stop-shop for ACT statistics and facts. Over 100 years of data on the ABS website with all issues of Year Book Australia now available What was the annual rainfall in Adelaide in 1840? What was the annual population of Australia from the time of settlement in 1788 until 1906? Where can you read an article about the early history of primary education in Australia? How early was the possible move to decimal coinage in Australia being discussed? The answers to these questions can be found in the first volume of the Year Book of the Commonwealth of Australia, 1901-1907, which is now available free of charge in full-text on the ABS Website. Celebrating a century of publishing by the ABS, all 90 year books from the earliest edition published in 1908, to the latest edition in 2008 are now available online. The historic Year Book Australia Online was launched at ABS House on February 7 by His Excellency, the Governor-General of Australia at the same time as he launched the 2008 edition of Year Book Australia. Year Book Australia is the principal reference work produced by the ABS. It provides a comprehensive and detailed statistical review of various aspects of the economy and social conditions in Australia. In addition to the broad range of statistics, with contributions from many government and private organisations outside the ABS, most issues also include a number of special articles written on topics relevant to the time. The year books have been scanned from the paper version and use character recognition software which provides a full-text searching capability once downloaded from the Website at <https://www.abs.gov.au>. The historic year books Digitisation project was initiated and managed by Library Services National. It was a project culminating in the publication of more than 90,000 pages of information on the ABS Website and involved almost four years in planning and implementation. It is hoped that this will be the start of many historical statistics being digitised and made freely available on the ABS Website for the benefit of researchers, the community. The 2006 Census Social Atlas Series Canberra A Social Atlas is one of a series of publications that uses maps to highlight key characteristics of the population. This social atlas includes maps for Canberra (including Queanbeyan). A separate atlas is available for each state and territory. The maps depict social, economic and housing characteristics based on data collected in the 2006 Census of Population and Housing. The information provides some insight into the composition and structure of Australian society. The collection highlights geographic distribution of the data and the diversity that exists within the nation's cities and regional centres. The topics in the atlas are categorised into broad themes covering Population, Cultural diversity, Education, Labour force, Income, Families and households, and Dwellings. Main features are briefly summarised in the commentary that accompanies each map. The social atlas series displays only a small selection of the wide variety of information available from the 2006 Census. The Census of Population and Housing provides a wealth of information about the Australian community and, in particular, provides detailed information about the Australian population for small geographic areas. This information can not be readily obtained from any other source and is vital to supporting the planning, administration, policy development and evaluation activities of all levels of government, business, researchers and the general community.

Socio-economic Indexes for Areas released this month SEIFA is a key census product that assists in determining Australia's social and economic conditions, assisting governments, businesses and community organisations in research, planning and analysis. The four Socio-economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) will be released to the ABS Website on 26 March. A preliminary version of the Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage (IRSD) was released on 18 February, due to strong demand for IRSD data. We strongly advise users, especially those with no prior experience of SEIFA indexes, to wait for the full release with complete accompanying documentation. SEIFA is developed by combining multiple 2006 census topics such as income, occupation and educational attainment to determine affluent, disadvantaged and highly skilled and educated areas based on their social and economic status. Data can be obtained for all census geographic areas from capital cities down to the Collection District (CD) level. SEIFA features four indexes, allowing you to rank socio-economic data for CDs, suburbs, towns or cities relevant to your needs. Each index summarises the different aspects of SEIFA, being:
· Index of Disadvantage (preliminary release on 18 February) · Index of Economic Resources · Index of Education and Occupation This data can be applied by many users for a number of purposes. This may include:
· distributing funds and grants appropriately · determining new business opportunities for commercial and not-for-profit enterprise · identifying areas requiring community assistance programmes and · researching and evaluating existing government and community initiatives. You can download the SEIFA 2006 and other 2006 census products FREE at <http://www.abs.gov.au/census>. Recent Releases Australians embrace life-long learning Over one-third (4.2 million or 38%) of Australians aged 25 to 64 years participated in formal or non-formal learning in the year to June 2007, according to Learning, Australia, 2006–07 (cat. no. 4229.0) . The Northern Territory had the highest proportion of people participating in formal or non-formal learning (51%) followed by the Australian Capital Territory (50%). The Australian Capital Territory had the highest proportion of people participating in informal learning (84%) followed by Western Australia (79%). Almost three-quarters (74%) of Australians aged 25 to 64 years participated in informal learning. In the 2006-07 survey on people undertaking formal learning (e.g. degree/certificate qualification), non-formal learning (e.g. typing course) and informal learning (e.g. reading reference manuals) the ABS found that management and commerce were the most popular formal (28%) and non-formal (25%) learning areas. The main reason Australians take up formal learning is ‘to get a better job or promotion’ (28%), and the main reason Australians take up non-formal learning is because’ it was a requirement of their job’ (36%). Full-time workers were more likely to have participated in some form of learning than persons not in the labour force (84% compared to 62%). Other survey findings include:
· Younger people (25–29 years) were more likely to participate in formal learning (25% compared to 3% for 60–64 year olds). · A Certificate lll or IV was the most common (26%) course level for people participating in formal learning. · More women participated in formal learning (13% of women compared to 11% of men). However more men participated in non-formal learning (32% compared to 29%) and informal learning (76% compared to 73%). Environment snapshot: Australians confront big dry Despite Australia having the highest per person water storage capacity in the world, the big dry has seen water consumption fall, according to the latest national snapshot from Environmental Issues and Trends, 2007 (cat. no. 4613.0). As many Australians confronted the recent drought conditions, total water consumption was down 14% in 2004–05 from 2000–01, even though the country has the highest per capita water storage capacity in the world at more than 4 million litres per person. Agricultural water use accounts for about two-thirds of total water consumption, and was down nearly one-fifth (19%) in 2004–05 compared with 2000–01. The drought conditions affecting eastern Australia in 2004–05 were especially evident in New South Wales and Queensland where nearly three-quarters (73%) of farmers reported surface water availability as a major issue. The publication Australia's Environment: Issues and Trends 2007 presents a range of statistics from both ABS and other sources, allowing readers to form their own conclusions about how the environment is faring. A feature article explores the implications of water scarcity, such as degradation of the country's rivers and wetlands, desalination and water trading. For example, more than 95% of the river length assessed in the Murray-Darling Basin had an environmental condition that was degraded. Other snippets from the publication include:
· In the nine years to 2005–06, hydroelectricity output fell by nearly 7%. · Although Australia's greenhouse gas emissions in 2005 were 2.2% more than the 1990 base year level, emissions per person have reduced over the period 1990 to 2005 by 14%. · Farmers reported spending more than $3.3 billion on Natural Resource Management in 2004–05, one-third of which was spent on weeds management. · More than one-fifth (20.6%) of all households reported that their dwelling had a rainwater tank in 2007.
