  2. ERP is at 30 June of the relevant reporting period. The ERP may vary from that used for the nKPI collection because of differences in reporting periods.
  3. Total is the sum of the states and territories and does not include external territories.
  4. See Technical notes for more information, including on interpreting changes over time.
