SCOPE AND COVERAGE
The scope of the survey was persons aged 18 years and over in private dwellings across Australia. Interviews were conducted with one randomly selected person aged 18 years or over who was a usual resident of the selected household.
Both urban and rural areas in all States and Territories were included in the survey, except for very remote areas of Australia and Discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities, which were excluded from coverage. The following groups were also excluded from the coverage of the survey:
- Visitors at a dwelling whose usual place of residence is Australia (as they would have their chance of selection at their usual residence);
- Overseas visitors intending to stay in Australia for less than 12 months;
- Non-Australian diplomats, non-Australian diplomatic staff and non-Australian members of their household;
- Members of non-Australian defence forces stationed in Australia and their dependants;
- People who usually reside in non-private dwellings; and
- Households where all residents are aged less than 18 years.
