Source for Indigenous community locations: AGIL 2019.

Source for other locations: ABS State Suburbs (SSC) 2016.

Note: The ‘Number of Indigenous communities and locations by state’ table, uses AGIL 2019 and ABS State Suburbs 2016, and presents Indigenous community locations that are unique, Indigenous community location names – which may include multiple names for some community locations, and other locations which are unique. The RIFIC List of Communities does not match the number of Indigenous community locations and other locations because additional locations were added to the search list.
