Dataset extent

Description

This dataset presents counts of payment recipients by payment type for the quarter ending March 2015. The data is based on the recipient's geocoded address aggregated by Local Government Area (LGA) from the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) 2014.

The Department of Social Services (DSS) is the Australian Government's lead agency in the development and delivery of social policy, and is working to improve the lifetime wellbeing of people and families in Australia. DSS' policies and services respond to need across people's lives - looking after families, children and older people; providing a safety net for people who cannot fully support themselves; enhancing the wellbeing of people with high needs; assisting people who need help with care; and supporting a diverse and harmonious society. DSS supports people and families in Australia by encouraging independence and participation, and supporting a cohesive society.

For further details on payments, see 'A guide to Australian Government payments'.

Please note:

  • In order to protect individuals' privacy, identified populations between 1 and 19 have been suppressed and replaced with '<20' for confidentiality purposes. Additional data may be suppressed and replaced with 'n.p.' (not provided) to prevent the derivation of identified populations that have values of less than 20.

  • Individuals who live overseas, individuals who are without a valid home address and individuals who only have a postal address cannot be assigned to a locational boundary. State/territory totals derived from Local Government Area data will not match actual state and territory totals, due to different statistical geography methodologies.

  • Caveats specific to payments type can be found in the relevant payment description of the original data.

AURIN has spatialised this dataset and have made the following replacements to enforce data type consistency:

  • '<20' has been assigned a value of '-1' within the data

  • A boolean field has been created for each data field to flag left-censored data. 'True' is assigned to fields that have been censored.

  • 'n.p.' (not provided) has been set to Null within the data.
