Information Paper: Changes to Managed Funds, Australia to incorporate revised international standards, 2010 (cat. no. 5655.0.55.002) – 28/10/10

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) compiles a range of financial statistics from surveys conducted by the ABS and from information obtained from regulatory sources. The statistics are important inputs to Australia's national accounts, particularly the financial accounts.

The ABS introduced revised international standards for the national accounts in late 2009. The revised international standards were implemented into the Survey of Financial Information (SFI) in 2009 and are now being reflected in the associated publication Managed Funds, Australia (cat. no. 5655.0), beginning with the latest issue (September 2010 quarter) which was released 03/12/10.

This paper:

• describes the main changes to the international standards;
• describes the impact on the presentation of statistics in Managed Funds, Australia;
• presents the revised formatted publication (pdf) tables and related spreadsheets; and
• provides a concordance between the current and revised time series identifiers.

Wage and Salary Earner Statistics for Small Areas, Time Series, 2003-04 to 2007-08 (cat. no. 5673.0.55.003) – released 06/10/10

Data available at the following geographic levels: National; State/Territory; Statistical Division; Statistical Local Area

This article and the accompanying data are provided to support analyses of local economic conditions for regions throughout Australia. It illustrates ways that wage and salary data can be used to explore regional variations in income. The data are produced by the ABS using personal income tax (PIT) information from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Across Victoria there were more male wage and salary earners than female earners, with males accounting for almost 52% of the wage and salary earner population. The top five Statistical Local Areas (SLAs) in Melbourne Statistical Division (SD) were all characterised by a higher proportion of female earners than the state average, however in only one of these SLAs - Boroondara (C) - Kew - did the proportion of female wage and salary earners exceed the proportion of male earners.

Outside of the Melbourne SD, four of the top five SLAs in Victoria were consistent with the state, in that the proportion of male wage and salary earners exceeded female earners. The exception was Newtown, where the proportion of female wage and salary earners equalled that of male earners.

To find out more, including information about top average wage and salary incomes, age, occupation, and income ranges, please visit the publication.

This publication presents information about persons aged 15 years and over who worked at some time in the last 12 months and experienced their most recent work-related injury or illness in that period.
