REVISION OF THE AUSTRALIAN STANDARD CLASSIFICATION OF CULTURAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS

The Australian Standard Classification of Cultural and Ethnic Groups (ASCCEG) (cat. no. 1249.0) has been revised to reflect changes since the first edition was published in 2000. The second edition of the classification contains 48 new categories, while six categories included in the first edition have been removed. The coding indexes have been updated accordingly. A correspondence table between the two editions is provided. The second edition of ASCCEG is expected to be available on the ABS web site from 7 July, 2005. For further information, please contact Chris Kunz (02) 6252 7066, email: chris.kunz@abs.gov.au.
