Australian Bureau of Statistics

Overview

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is the national statistical agency of Australia, established as an independent authority to provide official statistics on various topics, including economic, demographic, social, and environmental matters. Its mission is to deliver relevant and objective data to support informed decision-making across governments, businesses, and communities.

Founded in 1905, the ABS has evolved to become the central authority for statistical information in Australia. It coordinates statistical activities, advises on data production, and leads in setting international standards. The agency focuses on producing high-quality statistics, generating timely insights, and enhancing data access while ensuring confidentiality and compliance with legislative protections. Key functions include conducting the Census of Population and Housing every five years, collecting and analyzing data, and providing resources to improve statistical literacy. The ABS serves a wide range of stakeholders, including federal, state, and territory governments, researchers, and the public, contributing to informed discussions and policy development across the nation.
