Survey responses recorded as Y=Yes and N=No.

For jurisdictions providing all unit record data using the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare survey:

If the organisation hasn’t returned a survey (survey response = N), then we would only expect admin organisation and dwelling data (supplied by jurisdictions). If the organisation has returned the survey (survey response = Y), we would expect the survey variables in addition to the admin variables in the organisation and dwelling files. Additionally we would also expect a tenancy file and person file from the organisation. Note that NT does not survey the sector and so all survey responses are set to N.

For jurisdictions providing finalised figures (NSW and Qld):

Jurisdictions who provide finalised figures (NSW and Qld) only ever provide unit record organisation and dwelling admin data (the information provided by non responding organisation as above). NSW uses their own survey to collect the data from organisations. Their survey response indicates those organisations who have completed their survey. Qld also uses its own survey however they do not indicate which organisations have completed their survey or not (all survey responses are N). Qld provide coverage information separately.

Unknown dollar values are recorded as "U".

The total amount of rent charged to all tenants is the amount of money the households have been asked to pay during the financial year (ending 30 June). It may differ from market rent and may not have been received. The amount of rent charged excludes charges for utilities.

Unknown dollar values are recorded as "U".

The total amount of rent paid by all tenants includes rent arrears collected in the year ending 30 June. This also includes prepaid rent collected before 30 June, for the current and subsequent years. As such, the total rent collected over a 12 month period may be more than the total rent charged in the same period.
