Changes to business and non-business statistics
The new Bankruptcy Online system commenced on 2 January 2020 and introduced changes to the Statement of Affairs form. This changes the way we calculate and publish personal insolvency statistics from the March quarter 2020.
We have revised business and non-business statistics time series from September quarter 2007. Historical time series are available as a zip file on the time series page for the coming year. The historical time series is also available on data.gov.au

- Time series – in excel and csv formats
Note: We report the business and non-business personal insolvency statistics based on the number of debtors, not the number of administrations. We treat insolvency proceedings involving two or more partners as one administration. The business and non-business statistics will generally be higher than statistics based on administrations, the quarterly personal insolvency statistics.
Release schedule
We publish all statistics release dates in advance.
