Welcome to this the second newsletter from the Rural and Regional Statistics National Centre (RRSNC). Since our first newsletter back in September of last year there has been activity on several fronts that will interest those who require statistical information on rural and regional issues.

The demand for information relating to small areas and regions continues unabated. Governments at all levels are increasingly focussing on regional policy initiatives and their consequent effect on rural areas and non-metropolitan regions. It is in this environment that the RRSNC operates.

RRSNC's role is to produce and disseminate data that will assist policy analysts and researchers study the underlying causes of change across rural, regional and remote areas of Australia. This newsletter provides a glimpse of the progress being made in this regard. Our work is particularly intended to complement the regional priorities of Commonwealth Government agencies through the provision of relevant statistical information.
