[Core 3: Families and Communities – Lesson 1]5
FamilyA family is defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistic (ABS) as two or more persons, one of whom is at least 15 years of age, who are related by blood, marriage (registered or de facto), adoption, step or fostering, and who are usually resident in the same household.
Each separately identified couple relationship, lone parent-child relationship or other blood relationship forms the basis of a family. Some households contain more than one family.
Non-related persons living in the same household are not counted as family members (unless under 15 years of age).
Other related individuals (brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles) may be present in the household. If more than one family is present these people can only be associated with the primary family.
Visiting families are not included as part of the household, and the relationships of other visitors are not coded. A household containing only a visiting family (e.g. a family at a holiday home) is coded to a household type of visitors only.
Where all persons present are aged under 15 years, or where information for each person has been imputed, the household is deemed not classifiable to a family. People listed as temporarily absent, only spouse(s) and family children are used in coding family composition.
The family has been the basic unit of society throughout history and it remains so today. Families are not fixed groups of people. Their structure and composition are constantly changing.
Read "Families" on page 70 and "Family structures" on pages 70-75 of your CAFS text before completing the following activities.
