SELECTED SERVICE INDUSTRIES
The remainder of the chapter presents statistics obtained from a range of ABS regular industry-wide surveys as well as the monthly Retail Business Survey.
Note that there are methodological and scope differences between the collections and compilations used as data sources for this chapter. In particular:
Industries in this chapter are defined according to the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 2006 edition (1292.0). The service industries, Transport, postal and warehousing; Accommodation and food services; and Financial and insurance services are not included in this section. See chapters 23 TOURISM, 24 TRANSPORT and 27 FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
The first industry shown in this section is Electricity, gas, water and waste services. It covers producers, wholesalers, retailers and distributors so is both a goods-producing and a services-producing industry. It is included in this chapter for practical reasons, although it is excluded from the previous section.

In order to measure the actual expenditure of consumers, retail turnover is recorded from 1 July 2000 inclusive of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
