-
AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.
-
To avoid double counting individuals, demographic information of applicants/AFMs and respondents are of those on original applications.
-
To maintain confidentiality, person-based counts with a value of 3 or less are given a value of 2 to calculate totals.
-
Due to improvements made in data processing since the database release ending 30 June 2017, slight movement has occurred in numbers of AFMs and the number of applications outcomes.
