ABS Email Notification - Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Email Notification Service?

    The ABS Email Notification Service enables you to register your interest to receive email alerts on ABS Statistical Product Releases. This service is free and allows you to keep up to date with the latest ABS information without having to regularly check the ABS website.


How do I subscribe?
    Visit the Create/Update Subscription page and follow the instructions found on that page.

    After you have filled out the form on the Create/Update Subscription page, you will receive a confirmation email. Please follow the instructions in the email to activate and complete your subscription. If you choose not to follow the instructions in the confirmation message, your subscription will not be processed.

    Please make note of the email address you use when subscribing. You will need to use the same address to make changes to your subscription or cancel your subscription.

    Should you wish to subscribe to further products at a later time you can do so using the same Create/Update Subscription page. Please note that by subscribing to additional products you will not cancel any previous subscriptions.


How do I cancel my subscription?
    Go to the Cancel Subscription page and follow the instructions found on that page.

    Once you have cancelled your subscription you will receive an email. Please follow the instructions in the email to cancel your subscription. If you choose not to follow the instructions in the confirmation message, your cancellation will not be processed. Once confirmed, your email address and subscription details will be deleted from our mailing list.


Cancelling your Subscription is a two step process.

After submitting your request you will receive an email with a link to confirm your cancellation. Click the link and you will then receive a second email confirming your cancellation. If you do not receive both emails or have difficulty cancelling your Subscription please contact us for assistance https://www.abs.gov.au/about/contact-us.


    How do I change my email address?
      Your email address is your user name, so when you change your email address you must re-register as a new user. If you want to change your email address you will need to Cancel using the old email address and Subscribe using your new email address.


    What information will I receive?
      You will receive update notifications for the products you have subscribed to. While protecting your privacy, the ABS may, from time to time, review your subscription to our Email Notification Service with a view to offering you new or additional services/information that may be relevant to you. Please advise the ABS if you do not wish to be included in this option.
