Data source
The source of data for the health labour force data cubes is the AIHW Health Labour Force Surveys. These surveys collected information on the demographic and employment characteristics of practitioners who were registered in Australia at the time of the survey. It was conducted annually by state and territory health authorities, with the questionnaire administered by the registration boards (or councils) in each jurisdiction, in conjunction with the registration renewal process.
Further information on the data collection and notes on methodology can be found in the explanatory notes.
