2 As the Regional IVI is not seasonally adjusted and trended, the series contains more seasonal effects than the overall IVI series and should
therefore be used with caution. 3 Occupational analysis is in trend terms and indexed to January 2006 while the regional analysis is in three month moving average terms and
is indexed to May 2010.

Explanatory Notes
■ The monthly Internet Vacancy Index (IVI) is based on a count of online vacancies newly lodged on SEEK,
My Career, Career One and Australian JobSearch during the month. The data are seasonally adjusted and
trended and then indexed (January 2006=100). IVI vacancies have been coded by DEEWR to occupations
based on the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO).
■ The Skilled IVI is based on the aggregation of Professionals and Technicians and Trades Workers.
■ The Regional IVI was developed in September 2010 and back cast to May 2010 (three month average).
The Regional IVI concords vacancies to 38 best fit regions across the eight States and Territories from the
four job boards.
■ The monthly Skilled Vacancy Index (SVI) is based on a count of skilled vacancies in major metropolitan
newspapers in each State and the Northern Territory, usually on the first Saturday of each month. The
data are trend data (2007=100). In view of the trending procedure, figures for the six months prior to the
current month are subject to revision.
■ The 18 occupational groups used in the SVI are based on the Australian Standard Classification of
Occupations, 2nd
edition. The SVI total includes some residual occupations not counted in the 18
occupational groups. The totals do not add as the series are separately seasonally adjusted and trended.
The SVI does not include data for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the ACT count commenced in
February 2001 and data can be made available upon request.

Future of the Skilled Vacancy IndexThe level of vacancies in the newspaper-based Skilled Vacancy Index (SVI) has dropped from an average of 4600
a month in the year to July 2001 to 1800 a month in the year to July 2011, due to the shift towards internet
advertising over the past few years. Accordingly, the smaller number of vacancies for each occupation is
adversely affecting the ability to analyse vacancy trends by occupation and the series should be used withcaution.
To this end, the use of the Internet Vacancy Index (IVI) as a measure of the demand for skills and labour is
strongly encouraged, particularly as the series is now seasonally adjusted and trended.
Given the significant shift away from newspaper advertising, the SVI is likely to be discontinued in the short to
medium term. If you have any comments or views regarding the discontinuation of the series, please contact
Nadine Groney (02 6121 6019) or by email [email protected].
