6. Conclusion
The ABS is acutely aware of the need to maintain and build the
community’s trust – both in the institution as a whole; and how the ABS
collects, uses and disseminates data.
This paper provides both a conceptual model and a set of practical
steps the ABS and other National Statistical Organisations (NSOs) can
utilise to build trust with communities. Building trust is a multi-
dimensional activity, with action needed across the spectrum of
communication, engagement, privacy, data protection (to name some
elements). Building trust in the NSO will enable the value of public data
to be maximised for the benefit of communities.
The ABS will, in coming months, operationalise the model and
progress the concrete actions that are expected to have the greatest
impact. These will be reviewed and evaluated and further actions
developed over time.
