Except for the numbers on Indigenous population, all the other numbers (Community Development Employment Program (CDEP) participants, CDEP participations and CDEP exits) are administrative data obtained by the CDEP Programme Management Branch of the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA). The data are collected for program performance monitoring purposes. The data on Indigenous population by age cohort and jurisdiction is from the ABS’ Experimental Estimates and Projections, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, 1991 to 2021, Catalogue no. 3238.0. |
