EXPLANATORY NOTE 1 - CHANGING INDIGENOUS STATUS IN THE 2006-2011-2016 ACLD

The table below presents all possible combinations of Indigenous status a person can have in the three wave ACLD. The data in the analysis of the three wave ACLD excludes people aged 0-9 years in 2016 as they do not have a 2006 Census record to be linked to their 2011 or 2016 Census record in the three wave ACLD.
