As data for 2005 were unable to be provided by Victoria
to the AIHW, Nursing and Midwifery Labour Force Survey estimates for that
jurisdiction for 2005 are based on responses to the 2006 survey weighted to
2005 benchmarks. (18 January 2008)
In South Australia the same survey form was used for
2005 as in 2003. (18 January 2008)
FTE rates (based on 38 hours worked per week) by region were added to the Internet tables to align with data in the published report based on 38 hour weeks. (11 March 2009)
