Data Confidentialisation Policy
Table cells are suppressed where the count refers to less than five, but more than zero, people. The method is:
- Cells with counts between one (1) and four (4) are presented as <5.
- Cells with counts between one (1) and four (4) are presented as <5.
- Cells with a count of zero (0) are not suppressed.
- Where suppression has been applied and it is still possible to derive the cell value from other information in the table, the total/s or the next lowest aggregate cells are suppressed and presented with ‘n.p.’ (not provided).
Data Caveats
- Any variance from data reported prior to 28 August 2015 is due to a change to conform to the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).
- Inconsistencies may be attributed to participants moving from the location where they were originally triggered onto the program.
- Participants with ‘Unknown’ locations did not have a recorded address at the time of data extraction. This often occurs because a participant is in the process of moving address.
- ‘Uncategorised CIM’ customers are instances where a customer was assessed for Income Management but was never switched ON and assigned a Category Code.
- ‘Greater Brisbane’ includes ‘Logan’.
- ‘Far North’ includes ‘Cape York’.
- For ‘Current Income Management Exemptions by Indigenous Indicator’, automatic exemptions for <25% of Max Payment is not included.
