Share

The publication outlines the ABS’ response to recommendation 5.1 of the 2010 Productivity Commission Report on the contribution of the NFP sector to Australia’s economy and wellbeing.

The Productivity Commission made several recommendations to effect the collection and dissemination of data relevant to the NFP sector. It also recommended that the ABS was best suited to draw up an information development plan that addressed statistical information-needs for the sector, a measurement framework, the availability of statistical information, and avenues of future data development.

The Draft Information Development Plan has been released to help guide discussion of the statistical needs and priorities for the sector, and also to draw attention to the statistical potential of information held in government administrative systems.
