Queensland Government Statistician's Office (QGSO) provides a variety of information and data dissemination services. Data sources include Australian Bureau of Statistics, other Australian Government agencies, state government agencies and non-government providers.
Data extraction tools
Extracting desired information from large databases may be a complex task. The difficulty may increase if visual inspection is sought to determine patterns within the data, or if statistical analyses of the data are required.
QGSO has developed user–friendly, menu–based data extraction tools enabling easy manipulation of data, including the ability to export data to software packages for statistical analysis. These include the Queensland regional database, Queensland regional profiles, and customised statistical information systems. These tools permit data to be manipulated quickly and easily, with the added advantage of being distinctly separate from the database. The tools and data may therefore be used by people without requiring access to the database itself.
Geocoding of student home addresses and school catchment maintenance
QGSO geocodes state school student home addresses and maintains primary, junior and senior secondary state school catchment areas on behalf of the Queensland Department of Education and Training. This information assists the department in servicing enrolment management policy and planning future school resources and infrastructure.
