About these figures
- These ABS figures count actively trading businesses, not workers, sites or venues, each in its main state or territory.
- Each state's figure adds up the ABS counts for the small areas in it. The ABS adjusts those counts slightly to protect confidentiality, so the sums are approximate.
Summary of the ABS division definition
The Education and Training Division includes businesses mainly engaged in the provision and support of education and training, except those engaged in the training of animals e.g. dog obedience training, horse training.
The ABS page for division P gives the full definition.
