Information about how we are continually improving our website
Our website has been designed to make it easier for you to find the data you need. We are committed to the continual improvement of your experience. This page is regularly updated based on your questions and feedback.
For the best website experience and improved online security, we recommend using the following desktop browsers.
The most current and previous two versions of these browsers are currently supported.
We have updated our web address structures to make them more predictable and user friendly.
You may need to update your bookmarks, macros and systems. You can see examples of the new web address structures below.
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable fast access to ABS statistics using machine to machine ‘API calls’. These calls return statistics in a machine friendly format so that you can integrate data into your own systems as they are released.
There are two APIs available:
ABS Indicator API allows you to request headline economic statistics from the ABS including Australia's key economic indicators. An API key is required to use this service.
We have updated our guidance on citing and added a cite button to every page to help with referencing data. This is a suggested guide, indicating key elements to include when referencing ABS sources.
Catalogue numbers are being phased out however, you can still search for releases using catalogue numbers.
We encourage you to provide your feedback as we continue to improve our website into the future. You can provide feedback using the feedback buttons. These are located on the right-hand side of each page and within the page footer. Contact us if you have any questions about the changes we are making.
