What is a CURF?
CURFs are Confidentialised Unit Record Files from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
CURFs contain data sets from most of the key ABS social and labour household surveys, and provide the most detailed level of information that can be released.
Types of surveys available:
- business growth and performance
- child care
- education and training
- household expenditure
- income and housing costs
- labour mobility
- national health and nutrition
The ABS web site provides a complete list of available CURFs.
The raw data contained within CURF data sets can be manipulated using standard statistical software such as SAS or SPSS.
How can I access CURF data?
CURF data is available to university staff and research students under the ABS/Universities Australia CURF Agreement. Access to this data is subject to strict controls. Details are available from the ABS/Universities Australia CURF Agreement page.
