Australian Bureau of Statistics
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is Australia’s official statistical organisation. It conducts surveys and metrics on a range of issues, and is a reliable source of data and information. Every few years, the ABS does a survey on disability statistics, which becomes available in two formats: a free, general highlights version; and the original data which you can pay for if you want the specifics.
