3. Australian Culture and Leisure Classifications
The project to develop three classifications -- covering industries, occupations and products -- for culture and leisure statistics is nearing completion. A publication featuring the three classifications is planned for release in late 2000. It is expected that, in the future, the classifications will become the basis for the collection of culture and leisure data both by the ABS and non-ABS organisations.
