CHARACTERISTIC: BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT USE OF ICT AUSTRALIAN BUSINESSES USING IT(a)
(a) Proportions are of businesses in scope of the survey (that is mainly employing businesses in most industries). See Publication Explanatory notes for more information. Source: ABS Business Use of Information Technology, Australia, 2002–03 (cat. no. 8129.0). AUSTRALIAN BUSINESSES USING IT Source: ABS Business Use of Information Technology, Australia, 2002–03 (cat. no. 8129.0). A strong relationship exists between the size of a business and the likelihood that the business is using IT. As employment and income size increase, so do the proportion of Australian businesses making use of IT. By June 2003, all large businesses (those employing 100 or more persons) used computers (100%) and had access to the Internet (99%), while 80% had a web presence. In contrast, very small businesses (those employing fewer than 5 persons) had a lower level of IT adoption; 78% used computers, 65% had access to the Internet and only 15% had a web presence.

STATISTICAL NOTES Information on business use of ICT is provided to the OECD by National Statistical Organisations. Issues for international comparability include differences in the timing and scope (in particular industry and size) of national surveys. The table presented above has had scope differences due to size removed. Users should note that statistics on ICT use may differ because of differences in the composition of businesses between countries.
