Additionally we would also expect a tenancy file and person file from the organisation. Note that NT does not survey the sector and so all survey responses are set to N. For jurisdictions providing finalised figures (NSW and Qld): Jurisdictions who provide finalised figures (NSW and Qld) only ever provide unit record organisation and dwelling admin data (the information provided by non responding organisation as above). NSW uses their own survey to collect the data from organisations. Their survey response indicates those organisations who have completed their survey. Qld also uses its own survey however they do not indicate which organisations have completed their survey all not (all survey responses are N). Qld provide coverage information separately. |
