This publication, published jointly by the AIHW and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), is the second in an AIHW series that presents health and community services workforce data from the ABS Census of Population and Housing. It includes information on the number, distribution and characteristics of employed persons in 105 occupations identified as providing health and community services in 2001, and discusses growth and other changes in this workforce since 1996. Also included in this report are data from the census showing all persons employed in the health and community services industries. In addition, data from the ABS Employee Earnings and Hours surveys of May 1996 and May 2002 are provided to give an indication of the remuneration of employees in these industries.
