1 For further information about the data, including updates or changes, see the Explanatory Notes section of this issue and the related Appendices such as Data Quality Issues.

2 Short-term arrival movements are based on a sample and are subject to sampling error. See paragraphs 10 and 11 of the Explanatory Notes section of this issue.

3 Occasionally situations occur that necessitate breaks being applied to the trend series. For an overview of the breaks currently included in the trend series see paragraph 29 of the Explanatory Notes section of this issue.

4 Data quality issues have been identified with the capture and coding of state or territory of stay/residence from incoming passenger cards from July 2017 onwards. Data from the cards is currently being re-processed to correct these issues and will be re-supplied to the ABS. Once this is complete, ABS will revise OAD statistics from July 2017 onwards. Until the data is revised, users should exercise caution when comparing statistics for state or territory of stay/residence for this period with previous periods.
