C. Alternative Sources of Data
C1 Alternative sources
What alternative sources of data have been considered? (C1)
Note. Should include surveys conducted during the previous two years that collect similar data, as well as sources other than surveys.
Data from single establishment respondents who are included in ABARE surveys and have signed a consent form to release data to the ABS are obtained from ABARE to reduce respondent burden. If ABARE collects from all the establishments of a management unit, then ABS obtains this data as well.

C3 Joint data with other agencies
What consideration has been given to working with other agencies to make their data more suited to your needs? (C3)
ABARE may be moving towards using management units as their selection unit, which would be very helpful.
