Integrated data
The ABS builds highly valuable integrated data assets for research in the public interest.
By maintaining and regularly updating integrated data assets, the ABS can respond effectively to evolving research demands, and users can undertake important research about people and businesses across time.
Data integration projects
The ABS also integrates a range of other data.
Data Integration project register is a listing of approved data integration projects conducted by the ABS.
Use and benefits outlines case studies from projects using integrated data managed by the ABS.
Access and services explains how to apply to access to integrated data.
New opportunity - integrated business and person data
The ABS has enabled the integration of some BLADE datasets with information about employer characteristics to employee data in PLIDA over time. The Data Integration Project Register has more information. We recognise that broader integration of longitudinal business and person data will be valuable for analysis and research, and so we plan to explore this further with a future Privacy Impact Assessment.
