Metadata information, data quality statement (DQS) Note these DSS refer to the AIHW processed versions and are out of date but contain some useful background information. Note These DSS specifications do not cover all of the variables and a number of changes have been made to the survey. Even the name of the collection is slightly different (now called Workforce rather than Labour force). Another example is the Registered health professional – hours worked in public sector, total hours NNN is now collected for clinical or direct client contact hours rather than total hours. |
