Glossary

The term ‘Margin of Error’ abbreviated to ‘MoE’ is used to indicate when survey results should be interpreted with caution because of large confidence intervals. The use of summarised secondary data may contribute to data gaps, data lags and issues of data quality.

SEIFA stands for “Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas”. The ABS computes a SEIFA index for each Australian suburb using Census data, such as income, education, employment, occupation, housing and family structure. We will use the index which summarises relative socio-economic disadvantages. In level one (L1) these are relatively the most disadvantages suburbs in Australia, to level 5 (L5) which are the suburbs in Australia with relatively the least disadvantages.

Note on the interpretation of the socioeconomic level:
The socioeconomic levels reflect the characteristics of an area, not an individual person or household living in the respected area. As all individuals living in an area are not identical and do not have the same advantages or disadvantage as each other, it’s important to remember that there is range of advantages/disadvantage observe in each area.

Language and definitions

The term ‘birth to 18 years’ includes all children and young people under 18 years, however, all other age ranges used in this report are inclusive of both the youngest and oldest age, eg ‘10 to 17 years’ includes both ten and 17-year-old children and young people.

The term ‘Aboriginal’ is used respectfully to refer to Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children, young people, adults, families and communities.
