Standards for Statistics on Cultural and Language Diversity (SSCLD) has been developed to provide a means of standardising the way the Australian Bureau of Statistics and other agencies collect and disseminate information relating to the origins of individuals and cultural diversity in Australia.
A number of the standards make reference to major Australian standard classifications related to language and cultural diversity:
-
Australian Standard Classification of Languages (ASCL)
-
Australian Standard Classification of Cultural and Ethnic Groups (ASCCEG)
-
Australian Standard Classification of Religious Groups (ASCRG)
-
Standard Australian Classification of Countries (SACC).
The full standards can be downloaded from the Australian Bureau of Statistics website: SSCLD ABS 1289.0.
