Australia at a Glance: Using the Map

Map Navigation

The interactive map is designed to provide a snap-shot view of Australia with key information of interest to potential foreign investors.
 

There are three views available on the map:

Socio-economic: provides basic data on demographics, labour market, education and languages, economic activity and R&D expenditure.
Industry: provides information on employment, GDP, number of companies, R&D expenditure by industry sector.  Also select the CRC point data and you can also get an overview of key research centres for that industry sector.
Innovation: provides a snapshot of key Australian innovation resources including R&D expenditure and Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) and universities.

Usage scenario for the Socio-economic tab

  • Select a category (for example Demography)
  • Select a subcategory (for example Population)
  • Allow time for the map shading to complete (the Map key provides context to map shading)
  • Select a state, the statistics panel will open, and the relevant data will be highlighted
  • Click ‘hide stats’ to return to the map view

Usage scenario for the Industry tab

Point Data and Industry type

At any time a user can select point data for CRCs (Cooperative Research Centres) and Universities to view address and contact details.
Please note if you are working in the Industry tab and you select for example ‘Mining’ as the Industry category and then click CRC point data category then only those CRCs relating to the Mining industry will appear. However, for those Industry categories that do not have a matching CRC all CRCs will be shown on the map.
