Australian Bureau of Statistics

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is the nation's official statistical agency. It collects, analyzes, and publishes a wide range of data about Australia's economy, society, and environment. This includes information on population, employment, health, and education, helping governments, businesses, and researchers make informed decisions. The ABS conducts regular surveys and censuses, like the national census, which occurs every five years, providing essential insights into the lives of Australians. Their work aims to ensure that accurate, reliable data is available to support policy-making and contribute to understanding Australia’s development and challenges.
