Agriculture, forestry and fishing experienced increases across all key data items for 2024-25.

Agriculture, forestry and fishing earnings increased 16.2% ($2.8b), rebounding from declines seen in 2023-24. The Agriculture subdivision led growth with a 7.4% ($7.3b) increase in Sales and Service income, driven by higher livestock prices and export demand. Similar trends were observed in International Trade in Goods.
Purchases of goods and materials for the Agriculture subdivision increased 3.9% ($2.1b).
Wages and salaries rose 6.2% ($720m), while Employment increased 2.0% (8,000 people).

Estimates for the Mining industry largely reflect calendar year reporting for 2024. For a limited range of estimates adjusted to a June financial year basis, see the ‘Off-June adjusted estimates by subdivision’ data cube in the Data Downloads.

The Mining industry declined across most key data items for 2024-25.

Mining earnings and Industry value added (IVA) decreased 20.5% (-$47.4b) and 16.0% (-$49.5b) respectively. This was driven by an 9.1% (-$44.6b) fall in Sales and service income.
Declines in earnings were seen across most Mining subdivisions, led by a 49.5% (-$18.0b) fall in the Coal mining subdivision and 14.7% (-$16.1b) fall in the Metal ore mining subdivision. Similar trends were observed in Merchandise Exports.
Mining industry Employment increased 2.1% (5,000 people). Growth was recorded in both the Metal ore mining (3.1%, 3,000 people) and Coal mining (5.3%, 3,000 people) subdivisions. Wages and salaries grew 7.9% ($3.1b).

The Manufacturing industry experienced growth across all key data items in 2024-25.

Division earnings increased 1.6% ($753m). This was primarily due to higher earnings in the Food product manufacturing subdivision (7.8%, $815m).
Total expenses increased 7.8% ($38.3b) with Purchases of goods and materials increasing by 8.6% ($25.6b). The Primary metal and metal product subdivision drove expense growth, with input costs impacted by the high price of gold and silver. Similar trends were observed in Producer Price Indexes.
Wages and salaries rose 5.2% ($3.8b), while Employment grew 0.2% (2,000 people).

Health care and social assistance in scope of the Economic Activity Survey consists of the private sector component of the Health care and social assistance division.

The Health care and social assistance industry grew across all key data items.

IVA increased 11.2% ($17.0b), driven by the Medical and other health care services (9.6%, $6.4b) and Social assistance services (16.1%, $7.0b) subdivisions. Increasing admissions and fees drove growth, as well as policy initiatives such as the expansion to the Child Care Subsidy.
Employment increased by 5.7% (103,000 people), contributing to a 10.6% ($10.2b) increase in Wages and salaries.
