Guide

Monthly personal insolvency statistics

Introduction

These high-level monthly statistics allow AFSA to monitor changes in the insolvency landscape.

Comprehensive statistics are published quarterly – for more information, see Quarterly personal insolvency statistics.

Revisions

The provisional monthly personal insolvency statistics may contain updates to previously released figures. This is due to updated information received by AFSA.

Data collection

Most of the data for our provisional statistics is collected from the statement of affairs form. Every person who becomes bankrupt, or proposes a debt agreement or personal insolvency agreement is required to lodge a completed statement of affairs form with AFSA.

Scope and coverage

The monthly personal insolvency statistics solely relate to personal insolvencies and not corporate insolvencies.
