Using DataLab
The DataLab environment allows real time access to detailed microdata from the 2018–19 Patient Experience Survey.
The DataLab is an interactive data analysis solution available for users to run advanced statistical analyses, for example, multiple regressions and structural equation modelling. The DataLab environment contains up-to-date versions of SPSS, Stata, SAS and R analytical languages. Controls in the DataLab have been put in place to protect the identification of individuals and organisations. All output from DataLab sessions is cleared by an ABS officer before it is released.
For more information, including prerequisites for DataLab access, please see the About the DataLab page.
