The release is a single register of international travel by ABS employees for the 2025–26 financial year, presented as an attachment listing destination, departure and return dates, class of travel, classification (EXEC, SES-B, APS and Australian Statistician), purpose and the business unit responsible. The bulk of entries are Business-class trips funded by DFAT to Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, the Solomon Islands and Samoa to provide statistical capability development under country-specific work programs. The remaining entries cover conferences and meetings, including the UNECE climate change statistics forum, the International Census Forum in Ireland, the World State Congress in The Hague, OECD national accounts meetings, bilateral meetings in Korea and the UN Statistical Commission in New York. One entry is self-funded and one is funded by the UN. The register contains no data on the Census, survey methods or privacy matters, and it does not explain the business case for individual trips.
