How do the big changes shaping Australia affect your local area?
Our national forecasts are the point in our forecasting cycle where we account for the big-picture demographic and economic factors that impact population change in Australia.
These national forecasts are then cascaded down to states, territories, regions and, ultimately, to local areas.
