1. The Statistical Spatial Framework for Australia - enabling location analysis Gemma Van Halderen First Assistant Statistician Population, Education & Data Integration Division IAOS Conference, Danang, Vietnam 8 June 2014

2. 1.Developing the Statistical Spatial Framework 2.Summary of the Framework 3.Australian application of the Framework

3. Changing information environment Growing demand for geostatistics - for smaller areas - more variety in regions, greater flexibility - geostatistics from administrative data - opportunities from big data & open data Maturing geospatial data infrastructure National statistical leadership role in geostatistics

4. How do government agencies use or want to use spatial information? Developing and evaluating policy Understanding clients and their locations Modelling or determining impacts by region Administration of programs Contracts based on operations within regions Use of spatial analysis in fraud control Reporting By many areas, e.g. state, electorate, postcode, LGA, statistical areas, departmental specific. Open data and data for national statistics

5. ABS - a strong geospatial history National Regional Profile – a range of data sources New access portal – Data By Regions Population Census – collect, process and disseminate Geospatial Data Integration – Land Account Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS)

14. 2. Summary of the Framework

15. SSF Vision Informed decision making is enhanced by using location in a common framework to allow seamless integration of administrative, statistical and spatial information resources. SSF Goals All statistical data is consistently spatially enabled Users can discover, access, integrate, analyse and visualise statistical information seamlessly for regions of interest

16. The Framework Policies, standards and guidelines support the release, access, analysis and visualisation of geostatistics. Use international statistical and geospatial metadata standards - further development required. Australian Statistical Geography Standard - ASGS Statistical data management, Geocodes are location coordinate and ASGS Mesh Block Foundation Spatial Data & NAMF - National Address Management F’work Australian application of SSF Statistical Spatial Framework (SSF) Accessible & Usable Interoperable metadata Common geographic boundaries Data management: geocoded unit record data Authoritative geospatial infrastructure and geocoding

17. 3. Australian application of the Framework

18. Address on census night, Census coding Autocoding using GNAF – 91.3% direct coding – 94.2% with reprocessing Additional online clerical coding using GNAF and census collector maps – 96.7% direct clerical – 97.0% with reprocessing Intense clerical review and imputation – 100%
