How to Find Regional Data in ABS Online Products

ABS products have a tabbed interface as shown below. The tabs are used to group together all information about a product for user convenience. ABS products open on the Summary tab which contains summary information about the product. There may be some regional data on the Summary page within the main discussion, but most regional data will be found in the Downloads tab. The Downloads tab contains anything that can be downloaded. Regional data found in the Downloads tab will be more detailed and will be in either an Adobe PDF (.pdf), Excel file (.xls) or SuperTABLE (.srd).

If the product does not have the data you are looking for, try looking in the Related Information tab, which contains a list of links to other products with similar statistical data.

When using data from a product you should always access the Explanatory Notes tab for information to help you better understand and make use of the product.

For more information on the tabbed interface go to Help: Using the tabs on the Statistics Product pages.
