Regional Profiles

The DFEEST Regional Profiles series provides data and information including demographic, labour market and education and training characteristics of 17 regions across South Australia.

The graphics below link to a page for each region containing some quickview summary information, the full Regional Profile itself and the region's  Employment and Skill Formation Strategic Plan for 2006-07 to 2008-09 (as part of the South Australia Works initiative).

PLEASE NOTE

These regional profiles are structured around the 17 Employment and Skills Formation Network regions to provide initial baseline information for their planning purposes.

The profiles cover common elements drawn from a range of sources and do not purport to provide a complete picture of all matters that may be of interest to users. In addition, most data for the State's regions are collected in a consistent way as part of the census conducted every 5 years. For this reason, some tables in the profile will not reflect current circumstances in the region. Readers are urged to supplement the information in these profiles with other more recent information available. This is especially important as the time from the last census increases.

Information about other available regional data can be found below.

Other available regional data


The Department of Trade and Economic Development makes available regional economic, environmental and social indicators via its EasyData tool, which gathers publicly available data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and some previously unavailable information. The DFEEST Regional Profiles form a useful companion to this data, as they provide a level of additional analysis and commentary around a variety of indicators and trends.

 

A series of short regional profiles from the South Australian Training and Skills Commission (covering the same regions) is also available. They form part of the Commission's Skills for Jobs: Priorities for Developing South Australia's Workforce.
