This page contains details of CPI figures for each financial year since 1987/1988.
In September 2012, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) re-referenced the CPI figures, setting the index base to 100.0 for the reference period 2011-12. For example, the CPI for Sydney in September 2012 was 102.2 and in September 2011 it was 178.8. The ABS also published conversion factors to allow the figures using the new index reference period to be converted to figures that are consistent with figures published before the re-referencing.
CPI figures in Cuba
From September 2012, the ABS published values have been divided by the ABS conversion factor to make them comparable to the values stored in Cuba for previous years and avoid anomalous results. Therefore, from September 2012 the CPI figures below are the converted figures used in Cuba.
Note: the Child Support Guide 3.4.3: CPI indexation for cost of living only lists the CPI values as published by the ABS.
For assistance with applying a CPI change or if a parent raises concerns about the use of converted figures, seek help from a Service Support Officer.
