June quarter 2026 edition · Seasonally adjusted · New releases are checked before updating
Trailing average of the latest 20 quarterly annual-growth rates. Calculated by TEP using earlier data where needed; no future values. This is a backward-looking guide, not a forecast or the ABS trend series.
Loading the quarterly history…
A positive annual change means output per hour is higher than a year earlier. A smaller positive rate means it is still rising, just more slowly. A negative rate means it is lower over that comparison.
The index shows the level over time, with 2023–24 set to 100. An index of 110 means the level is 10% above that reference-year average. It is not a dollar amount, a percentage growth rate or a comparison of how productive different sectors are.
Whole-economy data starts in September quarter 1978; market and non-market output-per-hour measures start in September quarter 1994. Annual changes need four earlier quarters. Missing values remain gaps.
