The indicator calculation includes expenditures on plant, machinery, vehicles, electrical apparatus, office equipment, furniture, fixtures and fittings not forming an integral part of buildings, containers, special tooling, etc.

The following sectors are not included in the calculation: agriculture, forestry and fishing; public administration and safety; education; health care, pension insurance funds.

The sample is updated on a quarterly basis to exclude closed companies and to add new, statistically significant ones to the list. Companies with less than 10 employees are excluded from calculation.
The indicator growth may have a positive effect on the Australian dollar quotes.
