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

1. Any variance from data reported prior to 28 August 2015 is due to a change to conform to the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).
2. Inconsistencies may be attributed to participants moving from the location where they were originally triggered onto the program.
3. 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.
4. ‘Uncategorised CIM’ customers are instances where a customer was assessed for Income Management but was never switched ON and assigned a Category Code.
5. ‘Greater Brisbane’ includes ‘Logan’.
6. ‘Far North’ includes ‘Cape York’.
7. For ‘Current Income Management Exemptions by Indigenous Indicator’, automatic exemptions for <25% of Max Payment is not included.
