Australian Bureau of Statistics, Sydney, NSW

We assist and encourage informed decision making, research
and discussion within governments and the community, by leading a
high quality, objective and responsive national statistical service.
The ABS has a proud history. We are recognised as one of Australia's most important institutions. We are a key contributor to an effective Australian democracy as we support decision making among governments and the community. Our predecessors have left us a fine shoulder on which to stand. But, as in the past, there is a need to continually change if we are to remain a respected institution.

This Corporate Plan was adopted by the ABS Management Meeting, held in October 2005. It sets out the directions in which ABS senior management would like the ABS to move.
