Reporting Form ARF 743.0
ABS/RBA Housing Finance
Instructions
These instructions assist completion of ARF 743.0. ARF 743.0 collects information relating to the provision of finance to households for housing purposes by ADIs and RFCs.
Information reported in ARF 743.0 is required primarily for purposes of the ABS and the RBA. This information is required for various purposes, including policy and statistical purposes. Published aggregate statistics from this collection are used for research and policy formulation by a range of interested parties, including economists, State and Federal Governments, and the private sector. Information reported in ARF 743.0 may also be used by APRA for prudential and publication purposes.
Reporting level
ARF 743.0 must be completed by each ADI and RFC to which this Reporting Standard applies under paragraphs 4 or 5.
Reporting basis and unit of measurement
These instructions specify the reporting basis and unit of measurement that applies to each item.
For reporting purposes, unless specified otherwise, enter data as a positive number.
Location
When reporting by location, report according to the location of the residential property that the finance will be used for, not the location of the collateral (where this differs) or the location where the commitment was made.
Counterparties
For the purposes of this form, report only finance to households for housing purposes.
For the purposes of this form, households may exist in either the resident or non-resident sectors.
Positions with resident and non-resident households are collected separately.
Types of finance
For the purposes of this form, finance includes loans.
When reporting applications and borrower-accepter commitments, report only that finance where the legal lender on the contract is an entity included in the domestic books consolidation of the ADI or RFC.
When reporting information on the stock of outstanding finance (e.g. credit outstanding), only include finance that is held on-balance sheet, unless otherwise directed.
Reporting by purpose
Classify finance at the lowest level at which it is able to be identified; the purpose that the funds will be used for determines whether (and where) it is reported on this form. Where finance (identified at the lowest available level) is to be used for more than one purpose, classify that finance to its predominant purpose (based on the purpose for which the largest share of the funds will be used).
Credit outstanding
Report outstanding finance under the category in which it sits as at the reporting date. For example, if a loan was originally classified as having a fixed interest rate but now has a variable interest rate then it must be reported as variable interest rate for the current reporting period.
Treatment of facilities
Where there is a finance facility with a mix of interest rate or repayment types, follow the instructions below, unless otherwise directed.
When reporting on the number of facilities, report each facility once. Where interest rate types or repayment types are separately identified, report the number of facilities according to the predominant interest rate type or repayment type by value.
When reporting the value of finance, apportion across the relevant interest rate type and/or repayment type dimensions.
Values
Unless otherwise specifically stated, information reported on this form must comply with Australian Accounting Standards.
Report monetary amounts on ARF 743.0 in Australian dollars or the Australian dollar equivalent of the foreign currency. Amounts denominated in foreign currency are to be converted to AUD in accordance with AASB 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (AASB 121).
Report values on ARF 743.0 as whole dollars.
Numbers
Report numbers on ARF 743.0 unscaled, as whole numbers for ADIs and RFCs.
Averages
Report averages on ARF 743.0 unscaled, as numbers to two decimal places.
Standard Business Reporting (SBR)
The accounting type (i.e. credit or debit) is stated for all monetary items and represents the natural accounting balance of the item collected.
Specific instructions
Terms highlighted in bold italics are defined in Reporting Standard ARS 701.0 ABS/RBA Definitions for the EFS Collection (ARS 701.0).

- When reporting on the number of facilities, it is permissible to report the interest-only and amortising accounts separately (i.e. individual facilities with more than one repayment type may be reported more than once). Note that this treatment differs from the standard treatment applied in other items on this form.
- When reporting the value of credit limits, report the amount of the credit limit to which the interest-only repayment structure applies in the interest-only drop-down combinations and report the amount of the credit limit to which the amortising repayment structure applies in the amortising drop-down combinations.
- When scaling the stock of accumulated excess repayments and balances in associated redraw and offset accounts (as reported in item 6) by the number of monthly scheduled repayments, attribute the accumulated balances to the repayment structure of the loan account to which they are linked.
Column 1 | Report according to the number of monthly scheduled repayments that the stock of accumulated excess repayments and balances in associated redraw and offset accounts (as reported in item 6) would be sufficient cover at the end of the reporting period. See item 7 for further details. |
Column 2 | Report according to the property purpose (see item 7 for further details). |
Column 3 | Report according to the loan repayment type (see item 7 for further details). |
Column 4 | Report the number of fixed-term housing loan facilities. |
Column 5 | Report the average facility credit limit available. |
Item 7 | Report the number of facilities and the average facility credit limit of outstanding housing loans for each combination of number of monthly scheduled repayments categories, property purpose and repayment type. The number of monthly scheduled repayments categories are: - >=0 to <=1 month;
- >1 to <=3 months;
- >3 to <=6 months;
- >6 to <=9 months;
- >9 to <=12 months;
- >12 to <=24 months; and
- >24 months.
The property purposes are: - owner-occupied; and
- investment.
The repayment types are: - amortising; and
- interest-only.
Where the frequency of scheduled repayments is not monthly, convert it to monthly and then calculate the equivalent number of monthly repayments. |
Item 7.1 | Report the average number of monthly scheduled repayments that the stock of accumulated excess repayments and balances in associated redraw and offset accounts (as reported in item 6) would be sufficient to cover for amortising loans reported in item 7. |
Item 7.2 | Report the average number of monthly scheduled repayments that the stock of accumulated excess repayments and balances in associated redraw and offset accounts (as reported in item 6) would be sufficient to cover for interest-only loans reported in item 7. |
