- Administrative data for sectors such as air transport, railways, banking, and insurance
- GST data for wholesale and retail trade, hospitality, road and water transport, warehousing, telecommunications, real estate, information technology services, professional services, and entertainment
- Annual Survey of Incorporated Services Sector Enterprises (ASISSE) data for health and education services, which are expected to be incorporated into the framework at a later stage.
