GEOGRAPHY FOR THE NATIONAL ECEC COLLECTION
The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) is the ABS’ new geographical framework, which came into effect from July 2011. The ASGS replaced the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC). For the 2013 Collection, data have been classified to the ASGS Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) for Remoteness Areas and Socio-economic Index for Areas (SEIFA). Accordingly, data may be output from the 2013 Collection using aggregations of ASGS SA1s and higher statistical areas.
