Access API Export Data Tourism Regions (TRs) are an ABS SA2 approximation of tourism regions as provided by Tourism Research Australia. They are administrative regions primarily used by Tourism Research Australia for research and policy purposes. Please note that ABS approximated boundaries do not match official legal or administrative boundaries and should only be used for statistical purposes.

This dataset is the Country (AUS) boundaries as defined by the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 1 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas, July 2016. For the original data and more information, refer to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Issue. The ABS encourages the use of the ASGS by other organisations to improve the comparability and usefulness of statistics generally, and in analysis and visualisation of statistical and other data. The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) brings together in one framework all of the regions which the ABS and many others organisations use to collect, release and analyse geographically classified statistics. The ASGS ensures that these statistics are comparable and geospatially integrated and provides users with an coherent set of standard regions so that they can access, visualise, analyse and understand statistics.

This dataset presents data on Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Peoples available from the ABS Data by Region statistics. This release of Data by Region presents various data for 2011-2016 and Census of Population and Housing data for 2011 and 2016 and is based on the Local Government Area (LGA) 2019 boundaries. The dataset includes information the topics of demographics, language, culture, education and health. Data by Region contains a standard set of data for each region type, depending on the availability of statistics for particular geographies. Data are sourced from a wide variety of collections, both ABS and non-ABS. When analysing these statistics, care needs to be taken as time periods, definitions, methodologies, scope and coverage can differ across collections. Where available, data have been presented as a time series - to enable users to assess changes over time. However, when looked at on a period to period basis, some series may sometimes appear volatile. When analysing the data, users are encouraged to consider the longer term behaviour of the series, where this extra information is available. For more information please visit the Explanatory Notes. AURIN has made the following changes to the original data: Spatially enabled the original data with the ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) LGA 2019 dataset. Some data values in Data by Region have been randomly adjusted or suppressed to avoid the release of confidential details. Where data was not available, not available for publication, nil or rounded to zero in the original data, it has been set to null. Columns and rows that did not contain any values in the original data have been removed.
