The NaƟonal Alcohol Sales Data Project Stage 4 IntroducƟon Given the severity of alcohol-related problems both naƟonally and globally, the Australian Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy has supported the development of an iniƟaƟve to ensure that alcohol policy, prevenƟon and intervenƟons are informed by the best available data on levels and paƩerns of consumpƟon. Such informaƟon can be provided by alcohol sales data. This iniƟaƟve has led to the development of the NaƟonal Alcohol Sales Data Project (NASDP) at the NaƟonal Drug Research InsƟtute (NDRI) at CurƟn University in Perth. In 2014, the NASDP was in its fourth funding year (Stage 4) having completed Stages 1, 2 and 3 in 2009, 2011 and 2012. The overall objecƟve of the NASDP is to construct an ongoing, regularly updated, naƟonal database of standardised alcohol sales data, which includes all Australian states/territories. InformaƟon about volumes of alcohol sold is a basic requirement for esƟmaƟng how much alcohol is consumed within a region, within a community or per person. Adjusted for populaƟon size (per capita consumpƟon), alcohol sales data allow comparisons of consumpƟon levels between regions and are top-level indicators for monitoring and evaluaƟng policy changes and intervenƟons. This BulleƟn reports volumes of alcohol sold and per capita consumpƟon (pcc) for regions in the Northern Territory and Western Australia for the financial years 2005/06 to 2010/11 and in Queensland for 2007/08 to 2010/11. Alcohol sales data were made available to the NASDP for the first Ɵme by ACT Health for the financial year 2012/13, which was the first year of collecƟon. Per capita alcohol consumpƟon is calculated by dividing volumes of pure alcohol by the number of people aged 15 and over in a given populaƟon. In Stages 3 and 4 of the NASDP the populaƟon measure for Queensland and Western Australia was an EsƟmated Service PopulaƟon (ESP) which was calculated for the project from the ABS EsƟmated Resident PopulaƟon (ERP) (ABS, 2010). The ESP accounted for absent residents, Australian visitors and internaƟonal tourists (ABS, 2010). This was the first Ɵme that an alcohol consumpƟon service populaƟon esƟmate had been developed for Australian regional areas. In the NASDP Stage 2 it was found that at a state level the differences between consumpƟon based on ERP and ESP were minimal, but larger differences were found in some regional areas. These differences suggested that ESP was likely to be more accurate for the NASDP than esƟmates based on ERP (Loxley et al., 2011). In the Northern Territory, alcohol consumpƟon is esƟmated for the Territory as a whole only, at the request of the NT Department of JusƟce, using esƟmates derived from ERP to which tourist numbers, supplied by the Northern Territory, have been added. Alcohol sales data were made available to the NASDP by the NT Department of Business, the Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming RegulaƟon and the WA Drug and Alcohol Office. Alcohol sales volumes were aggregated and pure alcohol content by volumes were calculated using standardised alcohol conversion factors (ABS, 2010). Volumes and consumpƟon esƟmates were mapped onto shape files downloaded from the ABS.

The Na onal Alcohol Sales Data Project Stage 4Introduc on
Given the severity of alcohol-related problems both na onally and globally, the Australian Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy has supported the development of an ini a ve to ensure that alcohol policy, preven on and interven ons are informed by the best available data on levels and pa erns of consump on. Such informa on can be provided by alcohol sales data. This ini a ve has led to the development of the Na onal Alcohol Sales Data Project (NASDP) at the Na onal Drug Research Ins tute (NDRI) at Cur n University in Perth. In 2014, the NASDP was in its fourth funding year (Stage 4) having completed Stages 1, 2 and 3 in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
The overall objec ve of the NASDP is to construct an ongoing, regularly updated, na onal database of standardised alcohol sales data, which includes all Australian states/territories.
Informa on about volumes of alcohol sold is a basic requirement for es ma ng how much alcohol is consumed within a region, within a community or per person. Adjusted for popula on size (per capita consump on), alcohol sales data allow comparisons of consump on levels between regions and are top-level indicators for monitoring and evalua ng policy changes and interven ons.
This Bulle n reports volumes of alcohol sold and per capita consump on (pcc) for regions in the Northern Territory and Western Australia for the fi nancial years 2005/06 to 2010/11 and in Queensland for 2007/08 to 2010/11. Alcohol sales data were made available to the NASDP for the fi rst me by ACT Health for the fi nancial year 2012/13, which was the fi rst year of collec on.
Per capita alcohol consump on is calculated by dividing volumes of pure alcohol by the number of people aged 15 and over in a given popula on. In Stages 3 and 4 of the NASDP the popula on measure for Queensland and Western Australia was an Es mated Service Popula on (ESP) which was calculated for the project from the ABS Es mated Resident Popula on (ERP) (ABS, 2010). The ESP accounted for absent residents, Australian visitors and interna onal tourists (ABS, 2010). This was the fi rst me that an alcohol consump on service popula on es mate had been developed for Australian regional areas. In the NASDP Stage 2 it was found that at a state level the diff erences between consump on based on ERP and ESP were minimal, but larger diff erences were found in some regional areas. These diff erences suggested that ESP was likely to be more accurate for the NASDP than es mates based on ERP (Loxley et al., 2011).
In the Northern Territory, alcohol consump on is es mated for the Territory as a whole only, at the request of the NT Department of Jus ce, using es mates derived from ERP to
which tourist numbers, supplied by the Northern Territory, have been added.
Alcohol sales data were made available to the NASDP by the NT Department of Business, the Queensland Offi ce of Liquor and Gaming Regula on and the WA Drug and Alcohol Offi ce. Alcohol sales volumes were aggregated and pure alcohol content by volumes were calculated using standardised alcohol conversion factors (ABS, 2010). Volumes and consump on es mates were mapped onto shape fi les downloaded from the ABS. The Northern Territory was regionalised according to NT Department of Jus ce requirements, in Queensland and WA Sta s cal Subdivisions as defi ned by the ABS were used.
Full methods and results can be found in the NASDP Stage 4 fi nal report (Loxley et al., 2014).
Volumes of alcohol sold and per capita consump on
Volumes of alcohol sold and per capita consump on were es mated for the ACT, NT, Queensland and WA. Es ma ons for the ACT were found to be substan ally lower than could reasonably be expected and have not been included in this Bulle n.
NT volumes of alcohol and pure alcohol sold
In the NT, volumes of alcohol sold and pure alcohol were es mated for Urban Centres and NT Balance as defi ned by the NT and can be seen in Table 1.
Per capita consump on was es mated for the Territory and has not been calculated for regions at the request of the NT Department of Business. Table 2 shows volumes of alcohol and pure alcohol sold and es mated per capita consump on for the NT for the 6 years for which the NASDP has data.
Queensland and WA volumes of alcohol and pure alcohol sold and pcc
Examina on of Queensland alcohol sales data suggested that returns did not completely refl ect alcohol consump on in Queensland for the fi nancial year 2010/11. A er discussion with the relevant Queensland agency, apparent es mates of volumes of pure alcohol sold and per capita consump on in Queensland as a whole were developed using data from 2010/11 and selected data from 2009/10 to es mate shor alls. Es mates at SSD level have not been calculated using these assump ons. Volumes of pure alcohol and es mated per capita consump on for Queensland and WA are shown in Tables 3 and 4 and Figures 1 and 2.

Trends in alcohol consump on
Tables 1 to 3 and Figure 3 show that beverage consump on pa erns were similar in the Northern Territory and Queensland. In the Northern Territory the clear trend has been decreasing alcohol consump on over six years. In Queensland there appears to be a less marked decreasing trend.
The pa ern in Western Australia was diff erent. In Western Australia consump on increased in 2007/08 and has been increasing again since 2008/09. Na onally, alcohol consump on has been decreasing since 2007/082.
Alcohol sales and consump on fi gures for the Northern Territory and Western Australia, where 6 years of data are available, demonstrate that trends in alcohol sales are not necessarily related to changes in popula on. In the Northern Territory, popula on plus tourism fi gures, as supplied by the Department of Business, increased un l 2009/10 a er which there was a small reduc on. In Western Australia the ESP steadily increased over the series.
Figure 4 shows that in the Northern Territory, alcohol sales decreased in 2008/09 and 2010/11 despite growth in the popula on and there was an apparent steady decline in per capita consump on.
Alcohol sales and consump on in Western Australia show a diff erent pa ern as seen in Figure 5.
Western Australia alcohol sales generally increased between 2006/07 and 2010/11 and were highest in 2007/08 and 2010/11. Per capita consump on fi gures which factor in popula on size also increased over me but with a notable spike in 2007/08.
