Datacubes use a plugin called Supertable. This may be downloaded. See help.

Much of the data that was charged for or required a subscription is now free.

To support research and teaching in Australian universities the ABS has an Agreement with the Australian Vice Chancellors Committee (AVCC) to make available Confidentialised Unit Record Files (CURFs).

CURFs contain data sets from most of the key ABS social and labour household surveys, and provide the most detailed level of information that can be released.
