• ATO datasets are being updated with 19-20 financial year data. Estimated timeframe is
April/May 2021.
• Improved methodology – BLADE logic is being redesigned to facilitate different levels of
output (ABN level, different linking methods)
• Quarterly data – Changes in method now allow for quarterly updates for some data
inputs, this will be phased-in during 2021
• Work is underway to utilise new data sources such as:
i. Single Touch Payroll (at the ABN level)
ii. Indicative data for agricultural businesses
iii. Survey of Employee Earnings & Hours
A range of other Federal and State agencies are currently being engaged for inclusion of
additional data into the BLADE assetIntegrated Person and Business Data
• ABS has enabled the integration of some BLADE datasets with information about
employer characteristics to employee data within the
Multi-Agency Data Integration Project (MADIP) asset over time
• Business and person-level data are brought together via the ABN of a person's
employer, where this is recorded on a MADIP dataset
• BLADE data linked with MADIP is limited to BLADE Core and the Business
Characteristics Survey (BSC) with limitations on the use of BCS and Business
