In September 2012, the ABS re-referenced the CPI figures, setting the index base to 100.0 for the reference period 2011-12. The ABS also published conversion factors to allow the figures using the new index reference period to be converted to figures that are consistent with figures published before the re-referencing.
Example: A court order provides for the periodic amount (1.1.P.10) of $100 per week to be inflated by the March Sydney CPI on 1 July each year.
March 2011 quarter CPI for Sydney - 175.9
March 2012 quarter CPI for Sydney - 178.8
178.8 ÷ 175.9 × $100
= $101.65
The periodic amount will be $101.65 per week starting 1 July 2012.
