State and territory statistics

The state and territory statistics discussed in the following commentary have been obtained by pooling data across consecutive survey iterations to improve the reliability of estimates at the state/territory level.

The pooled estimates can be understood as an annual average of the estimates from multiple survey years. The survey enumeration periods contributing to each pooled estimate are indicated by the label of the pooled period. For instance, the 2022-24 pooled period is an average of the 2022-23 and 2023-24 surveys, spanning from July 2022 to June 2024.

While a pooled period spans multiple survey years, the data represents the average annual rate/estimate for those years, not the total number of victims over the pooled period. For example, the estimated 87,200 victims of physical assault in New South Wales for the 2022-24 reference period refers to the average number of persons who experienced physical assault in the 12 months prior to survey conducted during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 reference periods.

Data are pooled across two consecutive survey years for all crime types except sexual assault and robbery, for which data has been pooled across three consecutive survey years due to the lower incidence of these crime types leading to high survey error. Pooled sexual assault and robbery data are not referred to in the commentary but are available in Tables 29 and 30 from the data downloads.

Statistically significant changes in victimisation rates between 2012-14 (10-year time point) and 2022-24, and between 2020-22 (most recent non-overlapping pooled period) and 2022-24 are noted in the commentary, as well as statistically significant changes in police reporting rates between 2020-22 and 2022-24. Time series data is available from 2008-10/2008-11 onwards in the data tables.
