Institutional environment:![]() | For information on the institutional environment of the ABS, including the legislative obligations of the ABS, financing and governance arrangements, and mechanisms for scrutiny of ABS operations, please see ABS Institutional Environment. |
Timeliness:![]() | The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey (NATSISS) is conducted every six years. The 2008 NATSISS was conducted from August 2008 to April 2009. Results from survey were released in October 2009. |
Accessibility:![]() | See also National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey, 2008. The unit record data used to compile this measure are available to other users through the Confidentialised Unit Record File (CURFs) released by ABS. |
Interpretability:![]() | Information is available to aid interpretation of the data. See Explanatory Notes in National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey 2008. The 2008 NATSISS Users’ Guide will be released in 2010. |
Relevance:![]() | An Indigenous household is a household where at least one usual resident of any age identifies as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin. In the NATSISS, an adult provides information on tenure, which separately identifies households that are owners with and without a mortgage. In the 2008 NATSISS, household income was either not stated or not known for 19 per cent of households. Therefore income quintiles are based on the 81 per cent of households for which this information was available. The 2008 NATSISS did not collect information on: a reference person; dwelling type; household income type; the number of employed persons in the household. |
Accuracy:![]() | The NATSISS is conducted in all states and territories and includes remote and non-remote areas. The 2008 sample was 13 300 persons/6900 households, with a response rate of 82 per cent of households. In the absence of a comprehensive sampling frame, the 2008 NATSISS adopted a screening approach for locating its target population (compared to the more common approach of using a dwelling from for general population surveys). Potential bias due to undercoverage in this screening approach was addressed by the application of adjustments to the initial weights, including adjustment based on the density of the Indigenous population in different areas. As undercoverage can result in variances across population characteristics, as well as across data items, caution should be exercised when interpreting the survey results. For more information see the 2008 NATSISS Quality Declaration. Overall, this indicator has an RSE of 4 per cent at the national level, and between 5 per cent and 12 per cent for each state or territory. Finer levels of disaggregation (e.g. by the inclusion of other cross classifying variables) may result in higher levels of sampling error. |
Coherence:![]() | Data items used to construct the measures are consistent between cycles of the NATSISS and NATSIHS and support assessment of change over time. |
