This is a machine readable file containing DSS payments by 2024 Local Government Area (LGA) for use in National Map. Please see the DSS Benefit and Payment Recipient Demographics - quarterly data available on Data.gov.au for details.

Please note: from December 2022 to protect individuals’ privacy, all cells have been rounded to the nearest 5, values from 1 to 7 are rounded to 5. Zero cells are actual zeros. This may result in non-additivity for some totals. Caution should be taken in re-calculating totals from rounded data, as this may compound the effects of rounding.

Prior to December 2022 to maintain privacy and machine readability of the data in a machine readable format, values of less than five have been randomly assigned either a zero or a five. Users should refer to the Excel publication (mentioned above) for further information and data descriptions.
