GCCSA boundaries represent labour markets and the functional area of Australian capital cities respectively. They are designed with an emphasis on stability over time to support the time series of statistical releases such as the Quarterly Labour Force publication. There are 16 GCCSAs covering the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps. The GCCSA boundaries may differ from official or commonly applied area boundaries. There are 8 regions covering each of the Australian state and territory capital cities; 7 regions covering the rest of each state and the Northern Territory (ACT only has one GCCSA region for the entire Territory); and a region covering Other Territories which includes Jervis Bay, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Norfolk Island.

The ASGS is a cartographic representation of Australia for the purpose of representing statistics. Positional accuracy is an assessment of the closeness of the location of the spatial objects in relation to their true positions on the earth's surface. Positional accuracy for ABS boundaries is dependent on the accuracy of the features they have been aligned to. ABS boundaries are aligned to a number of layers including Geoscape. Boundary coordinates have been rounded to 8 decimal places, equivalent to 1.1132mm at the equator. All ABS boundaries have been generalised to 5cm with a 7.5cm shared boundary tolerance. No "shift" of data as a means of "cartographic enhancement" to facilitate presentation has been employed for any real world feature. Check for dataset completeness. Record count comparison and visual gap analysis.
