An empty cell means no publishable row for that year — unknown, not nil. Never read a blank as a fall to zero. ⚠️ This agency has not always carried its current name. Figures in the earlier years were reported as Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) (2022-23 to 2023-24). They are shown here because the series is continuous, not because the agency is.
