Notes:

  1. This information refers to preliminary rebased Estimated Resident Population (ERP) data, as at 30 June, 2006. The ERP is the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) official estimate of the population based on normal place of residence. For more information about the ERP, see the ABS website at www.abs.gov.au. Divisional ERP were calculated using revised ABS data at Postal Area level. Population figures for Divisions are then calculated using annually updated ‘allocation of postcodes to Division boundaries’ prepared by the Department of Health and Ageing. No data was available for the 2006-07 period, and therefore boundary allocations for the 2005-06 period have been used. Due to missing values, this method has resulted in a 0.1% difference (n=19 891) between published ABS population ERP figures (20,701,488) and those available at a Division level (20,681,597).
  2. Preliminary rebased ERP data, as at 30 June 2006 was used to calculate the Australian Indigenous population. Refer to note B regarding issues with Division boundary allocations. This has also resulted in a minor discrepancy between the totals reported here and in ABS publications.
  3. This information was downloaded from the Department of Health and Ageing website showing 2005-06 data (updated on 30 March 2007). Please note data are consistent with new, more accurate, methods of calculations introduced for the 2004-05 data. Fulltime Workload Equivalence (FWE) is reported in place of Fulltime Equivalence (FTE) as the former is considered to be a more accurate measure (and is preferred by Department of Health and Ageing). For a definition of FTE and FWE please see: www.phcris.org.au/fastfacts/index.php.
