About these figures

  • These ABS figures count actively trading businesses, not workers, sites or venues, each in its main state or territory.
  • Entries and exits compare two 30 June counts. They are not counts of openings and closures.
  • The ABS adjusts its counts slightly to protect confidentiality, so a small number or a zero is approximate, not proof that no such business exists.

Summary of the ABS class definition

In this class, the ABS counts businesses mainly engaged in building installation services not elsewhere classified.

Examples the ABS lists:

  • Awning, blind or shutter installation
  • Curtain installation
  • Elevator, escalator or lift installation
  • Flywire screen installation
  • Insulation material installation

The ABS page for class 3239 gives the full definition and what the class leaves out.
