Notes
- Association only: these charts do not establish causal effects.
- Outlier trimming: charts restrict the x-axis to ≤25% and exclude points above that. This reduces leverage from extreme outliers; excluded counts are shown under each chart.
- p-values: the p-value shown is for the OLS slope (two-sided t-test, df = n − 2). A small p-value does not imply useful predictive power; check R².
- FTE vs headcount: staffing is measured as actual staff FTE, including casual FTE.
- Timing: staff and finance metrics are for 2023; ComparED pools SES years.
- Transparency: the CSV includes per-value sourcing columns (URLs, sheet/cell refs, and derivation notes).
Baselines (for context)
- Australian economy overall (ABS, Aug 2025): 20.0% of employees without paid holiday/sick leave (ABS proxy for casual); 19.5% self-identified as casual.
- Universities / higher ed providers (Dept staff series, 2023): casual staff were 14.4% of total staff FTE (Table A + B), down from 15.3% in 2022 and 17.8% in 2019.
- Within universities (2023): teaching-only roles were 64.7% casual; Level A / below lecturer academic FTE were 53.5% casual.
- Education & training industry (ABS, Aug 2025): about 16.3% self-identified as casual (≈200.1k casual employees).
These use different statistical definitions (employee counts vs FTE; proxy vs self-identified). Treat them as rough benchmarks, not apples-to-apples.
