UPCOMING CHANGES TO DATA PRESENTATION FORMATS

From 2015, Australian Demographic Statistics (cat. no. 3101.0), Migration, Australia (cat. no. 3412.0), Regional Population Growth, Australia (cat. no. 3218.0) and Population by Age and Sex, Regions of Australia (cat. no. 3235.0) will begin phasing out the release of data in SuperTable format. Data from these products will continue to be available in Excel spreadsheets and in ABS.Stat - an interactive and free online tool that presents data in a searchable, flexible and dynamic way.


REGIONAL INTERNAL MIGRATION ESTIMATES

The ABS is currently developing a new ongoing series of Regional Internal Migration Estimates (RIME) based on the Australian Statistical Geography Standard, including SA2s and LGAs. The first release of this series will be for the period 2006-07 to 2012-13, with an anticipated release in early 2015. Annual updates are then expected from 2013-14. Subsets of the new RIME series will be available on the ABS website in Migration, Australia (cat. no. 3412.0).


DELAY IN RELEASE OF OVERSEAS ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES STATISTICS

The ABS releases of Overseas Arrivals and Departures, Australia (cat. no. 3401.0) for October and November 2014 will be delayed. The ABS will advise new release dates as soon as possible. The delay is due to passenger card processing issues as announced by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). The ABS and DIBP have been working closely together to manage the issues and to minimise delays to the preparation of these statistics.
