Guide for use: | The geographical location is reported using a nine digit numerical code to indicate the Statistical Local Area (SLA) within the reporting state or territory, as per the Main Structure defined in the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) (Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), catalogue number 1216.0). It is a composite of state/territory identifier, Statistical Division, Statistical Subdivision and Statistical Local Area. The geographical location has the following format: 1st digit = state/territory identifier digits 2-3 = Statistical Division digits 4-5 = Statistical Subdivision digits 6-9 = Statistical Local Area

Collection methods: | When collecting the geographical location of a person's usual place of residence, the ABS recommends that 'usual' be defined as: 'the place where the person has or intends to live for 6 months or more, or the place that the person regards as their main residence, or where the person has no other residence, the place they currently reside.' Apart from collecting a person's usual place of residence there is also a need in some collections to collect area of residence immediately prior to or after assistance is provided, or at some other point in time. |
Comments: | Geographical location is reported using SLA to enable accurate aggregation of information to larger areas within the ASGC (such as Statistical Subdivisions and Statistical Divisions) as well as detailed analysis at the SLA level. The use of SLA also allows analysis relating the data to information compiled by the ABS on the demographic and other characteristics of the population of each SLA. Analyses facilitated by the inclusion of SLA information include:
