Shortcuts - What is a theme page?
Theme pages on the ABS web site are subject guides to ABS statistics
Use a Theme page to help you if:
- you know nothing about ABS subjects (the subject headings are listed in the Theme page), OR
- you know what statistic you want, but don't know the ABS subject name, title or catalogue number of the publication, OR
- you know the subject you need but don't know the title or catalogue number of the publication, OR
- you would like to browse ABS subjects in general
Theme pages generally provide:
- information about the subject matter area
- direct links to the major ABS publications
- related publications
- related web sites
- contact details
Example of how to use a Theme page

- From the ABS home page, follow the Themes link.
- There is no heading called 'Unemployment', but there is a link called 'Labour'.
- Follow the Labour link. You are now at the 'Labour' Theme Page
- Take time to read the page! The Labour subject specialists have created this Theme page to help people find the Labour statistics that they need.
- Explore the links at the top of the page. Click on More Information.
