COLLECTION METHODOLOGY

General information about the 2013 National Early Childhood Education and Care Collection (NECECC), including summary results, are available in the publication Preschool Education, Australia, 2013 (cat. no. 4240.0). Due to the collection arrangements within each state and territory, data for the 2013 Collection were derived from a number of data sources. Nationally sourced Child Care Management System (CCMS) data were used in addition to state and territory-supplied datasets to achieve more comprehensive collection coverage.

Detailed information about the survey including scope and coverage, data collection methodology, data comparability and confidentiality can be accessed from the Explanatory Notes page of that publication. All published summary tables, in Excel spreadsheet format, can be accessed from the Downloads page.

Please note that due to confidentiality and operational processes inherent in TableBuilder, estimates derived from this product may differ slightly when compared to those published in Preschool Education, Australia, 2013 (cat. no. 4240.0). These differences do not impact on the quality of the data.
