(a) This indicator was previously titled "Gross state product at market prices per capita".
(b) All estimates have been adjusted using the OECD equivalence scales.
(c) Components do not add to Australian total because total for Australia includes payments to people living overseas and where valid geographic data were not available.
(d) Point in time data which will not match average of weekly data. This data include people who receive a nil rate of payment.
Reference periods: Data for income distribution, sources of income (except mean weekly earnings data which are at May) are for the year ending 30 June. Income support data are at June, except labour market allowance recipients which are at May.
