Construction
- The seasonally adjusted estimate rose 1.2% driven by increases in Construction services and Residential building activity.
Financial and insurance services
- The seasonally adjusted estimate rose 1.3% driven by increases across all subdivisions.
Rental, hiring and real estate services
- The seasonally adjusted estimate rose 2.8% driven by Property operators and real estate services recording strong activity for the September quarter.
