INDIGENOUS STATISTICS

The first issue of National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Survey (cat. no. 4714.0) was released recently. It presents summary results from the 2002 Indigenous Social Survey. Topics include culture and language, family and community, health, housing, education, employment, income, financial stress, transport and mobility, and crime and justice. The publication provides a range of information at the national level, and selected state/territory level information. Comparisons are made with the non-Indigenous population where possible. Where available, time series information is also provided. For more information contact Andrew Webster on (02) 6252 5583, email: andrew.webster@abs.gov.au.
