The Industry data identifies the industries in which the residents of an area work (this may be within the residing area or elsewhere). The Industry Structure of the work force is indicative of the skill base and (to some extent) the socio-economic status and industry structure of an area.
The industries that are prominent in an area are strongly related to a range of factors including:
- the economic base and employment opportunities available in the general region;
- the educational levels of the local population; and
- the working and social aspirations of the population.
The data below is based on the 1993 Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) to enable comparisons between 2006, 2001 and 1996 industries.

This dataset describes the industries in which employed people work. It applies only to people aged 15 and over who were employed in the week prior to Census.
Data for industry are coded using the Australia and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC). The industry classification is updated periodically to take account of emerging industries and changes in the structure of the economy.
For the 2006 Census, the updated ANZSIC06 classification was used, but people were also coded to the older ANZSIC96 version of the classification. Data in the profiles are presented using both classifications; data for 2006 alone uses ANZSIC06, while time series data uses ANZSIC96 for comparability.
For more information, please refer to the ANZSIC 2006 classification.
